An Everglades Providence : Marjory Stoneman Douglas And The American Environmental Century

Attribution
Jack E. Davis
Publication Details
Book, University of Georgia Press, 2009
Description
No one did more than Marjory Stoneman Douglas to transform the Everglades from the country’s most maligned swamp into its most beloved wetland. Reconstructing this larger picture, Davis recounts the shifts in Douglas’s own life and her instrumental role in four important developments that contributed to Everglades protection: the making of a positive wetland image, the creation of a national park, the expanding influence of ecological science, and the rise of the modern environmental movement.
