Bright untorn dust jacket. -- Archie Carr (1909-1987) was an eminent naturalist, writer, conservationist, and world authority on sea turtles. Throughout his life he wrote on many aspects of natural history, but he was particularly entranced by the wildlife and ecosystems of Florida, where he lived for more than fifty years. This captivating book - a collection of essays on Florida - provides memorable details and anecdotes about the flora, fauna, and humans that have inhabited this colorful landscape. Carr describes the eating rituals of the snakebird; the personality, courtship, and copulation of box turtles; the way skinks (a type of lizard) use their tails when foraging; and the characteristics of Spanish moss. He ponders why fish migrate to create "jubilees" in certain streams, the effects of disappearing ponds on the plants and animals that live in them, and the captivating activities of alligators and alligator snapping turtles. Carr's essays, many but not all previously published in such magazines as Audubon, Field and Stream, and Wildlife Conservation, are a kind of testimony to and celebration of an exuberant natural landscape that is now seriously threatened. Archie Carr was graduate research professor of zoology at the University of Florida, Gainesville. During his illustrious career he won numerous awards and honors, including the Daniel Giraud Elliott Medal of the National Academy of Sciences, the O. Henry Memorial Award for short-story writing, the Hal Borland Award of the National Audubon Society, and the designation of Eminent Ecologist by the Ecological Society of America. His many books include Ulendo, So Excellent a Fishe, and The Windward Road, which won the John Burroughs Medal for nature writing. -- Contents: Foreword; Preface; Maps; Wewa Pond; Bird and the Behemoth; Jubilee; Sticky Heels; A Florida Picnic; All the Way Down upon the Suwannee River; Suwannee River Sturgeon; An Introduction to the Herpetology of Florida; Florida Vignettes; Tails of Lizards; Alligator Country; A Subjective Key to the Fishes of Alachua County, Florida; Hound Magic; Carnivorous Plants; Cold-Blooded Fraternity; Living with an Alligator; Moss Forest; In Praise of Snakes; Landscapes of Florida; Armadillo Dilemma; Water Hyacinths; Triple-Clutchers; Gulf-Island Cottonmouths; A Dubious Future; Eden Changes; Notes; Index. …
