What is Liquid land : a journey through the Florida Everglades about?

In Liquid Land, Ted Levin Guides Us Past The Dire Headlines And Into The Magnificent Swamp Itself, Where We Come Face-to-face With The Plants, Animals, And Landscapes That Remain And That Will Survive Only If We Protect Them. Levin Has Traveled Extensively Through The Everglades, Often In The Company Of Such Dedicated Individuals As Archie Jones, The Conchologist Who For Fifty Years Has Been Studying And Rescuing Tree Snails, Or Frank Mazzotti, With Whom Levin Spent Two Weeks In The Field Monitoring American Crocodiles. Through Levin's Adventures We Come To Know Intimately A Place Where Water Was Meant To Flow As A Broad, Shallow Sheet And Where Minuscule Changes In Elevation Yield A Dramatic Change In The Diversity Of Life, From Manatees And Mangroves On The Coast To Panthers And Orchids In The Interior.--jacket.
