Purchase options and add-ons

From the western panhandle coast and the Apalachicola bluffs and ravines to the central Florida dry prairies and the Florida Keys, the Sunshine State is a land rich in biodiversity. The Florida panther, the manatee, the orange blossom, and the sawgrass have become emblematic of our natural heritage, but living within the oft-ignored scrub communities are the less well-known Florida Rosemary and the Florida Scrub-Jay. The rare Bachman’s sparrow and the globally imperiled bog frog make their homes in the world’s largest remaining tracts of longleaf pine, while the barrier islands of the salt-marsh estuaries along the east coast provide safe harbor for the rare terrestrial peperomia and can offer visitors a once-in-a-lifetime glimpse of a North Atlantic right while.

            However, our state’s diverse flora and fauna face many challenges: habitat loss, invasive species, competing uses, drought, and climate change. Atlas of Florida’s Natural Heritage provides overviews of the natural communities, the plants, and the animals that inhabit the state, as well as information on habitat modeling, ecological greenways, protecting natural areas, and land management. With more than 600 photos and over 200 maps, this book will be useful not only to scientists and policymakers, but also to residents and visitors interested in preserving Florida’s beautiful and complex natural heritage.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource
    Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2013
    I was given this book by parents of my students right after it was published. I have since used it both personally and professionally. With my students, it became a valuable go-to knowledge base for understanding big picture ecological ideas as well as for unpacking/exploring specifics about Florida's numerous ecological niches. The information is in-depth, research based, and yet very accessible no matter one's level of knowledge about natural systems. The cartography is brilliant, engaging, and offers no shortage of new ways to explore ecosystems, habitats, and the inhabitants within them. The images and layout are thoughtfully designed, with the user/reader in mind.

    I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in Florida's ecological heritage and in the intersection of biology, geography, climatology and geology. You'll develop a new appreciation for Florida as well as for emerging trends in studying landscapes and the flora and fauna therein.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2013
    This is a must have for anyone who lives in Florida or who is interested in the Sunshine State. It is a great resource for professionals such as teachers, academics, engineers, environmentalists, researchers, etc. For lay people it is an engrossing and fascinating read. I picked it up just to glance through, read the captions and look at the photos and I could not put it down. Anyone who wants to understand and appreciate the core Florida should read this book. It also helps understand the challenges facing the state's natural world.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Nice conservation textbook for a Florida-specific conservation 101 class
    Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    Nice overview of Florida natural history, organized as an atlas -- by physical setting, natural communities, plants, animals, and finally by specific natural areas of note. This is not a travel guide, but instead is the type of reference that I would have kept in my office back in the day when I was a Park Ranger. When i want to learn more about specific species, geology, hydrology or policy issues, deeper dives are probably available elsewhere, but this Atlas is a nice overview of the elements and -- importantly -- inter-relationships.

    Published in 2011! The design of the book seems to be an homage to 1960s/1970s federal reports, so when I received it I thought it was an outdated government text and immediately checked the publication date! The retro design must be an intentional homage to the era when the US federal government and California State publication programs summarized for the first time our diverse natural treasures and relevant ecosystems. Whenever I glance at this book, the cover style and font transport my imagination to a dusty park office with solid wood desks crowded together on a terrazo floor, faded leather chairs, stuffed snakes and bobcats on the shelves and walls adorned with slightly ripped topo maps. Slight smell of campfire lingering on my clothes, a soggy sandwich and warm coke for lunch. So perhaps it's a time machine as well as a conservation atlas.
