• Completely updated every year
• Insider advice on avoiding the crowds as you explore Florida’s many theme parks, beaches and other popular resorts and attractions (and where to go to get away from it all).
• Where to find the the right bite for your appetite: from fresh-off-the-boat seafood in the Keys to Miami’s glitziest nightspots. From country cooking to Cuban cuisine and where to eat in and around the theme parks.
• Insightful commentary on Florida’s land, its history and its people, from The Fountain of Youth, to Osceola, to boom times and the Space Race, and the arrival of the Mouse in Orlando.
• Opinionated reviews. No bland descriptions and lukewarm recommendations. Our expert writer has her hand on the pulse of what’s happening every day (and night), and tells it like it is in an engaging and helpful way.

A People's History of Florida 1513-1876: How Africans, Seminoles, Women, and Lower Class Whites Shaped the Sunshine State

A People's History of Florida 1513-1876: How Africans, Seminoles, Women, and Lower Class Whites Shaped the Sunshine State Review

Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States, predicted that the bottom class perspective of history would eventually gain ground, enveloping the old way of narrating history as told by the powerful. Since then, numerous historical events have been redefined through the outlook of common people that were involved from the bottom-up, forever altering how we understand history. No more romantic diatribes glittered in patriotic myths. No more traditional heroes, standardized viewpoints, unquestionable "facts," or generalized falsehoods. Just plain raw truth that is not afraid to stampede powerful governments with the herd of popular outrage. A People's History of Florida follows the People's History tradition, documenting the active involvement of African-Americans, indigenous people, women, and poor whites in shaping the Sunshine State's history.

The Second Edition of Florida’s Birds is a major event for Florida birders, new and old. Each section of the book is updated, and 30 new species are added. Also added are range maps for certain species and color coded guides to months when the bird is present and/or breeding in Florida. Now with color throughout, each bird is illustrated three times: with the text about the bird, in the index listing, and on a plate with similar species for help in identification. Thus, Florida’s Birds is now an even better field guide. Unlike the other books available on the birds of Florida, Florida’s Birds is also a reference that goes beyond its usefulness in the field. Sections on bird study and bird feeding provide practical advice for enjoying Florida’s birds; and sections on bird habitats, threatened and endangered species, exotic species, and bird conservation will assist the reader in understanding the ecological and cultural landscapes that have created one of the world’s unique avifaunas.
