    Synopsis
    Before 1947, when Marjory Stoneman Douglas named The Everglades a "river of grass," most people considered the area worthless. She brought the world's attention to the need to preserve The Everglades . In the Afterword, Michael Grunwald tells us what has happened to them since then. Grunwald points out that in 1947 the government was in the midst of establishing the Everglades National Park and turning loose the Army Corps of Engineers to control floods--both of which seemed like saviors for the Glades. But neither turned out to be the answer. Working from the research he did for his book, The Swamp, Grunwald offers an account of what went wrong and the many attempts to fix it, beginning with Save Our Everglades, which Douglas declared was "not nearly enough." Grunwald then lays out the intricacies (and inanities) of the more recent and ongoing CERP, the hugely expensive Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan.

      Item was shipped fast and packed very securely. The plant was very healthy looking with more new growth than what the pictures showed. The package included instruction for the best transplanting of the plant, with a hand written thank you note. Would not hesitate from being from this seller again.

      Wreath is beautiful! Just as pictured. Looks wonderful over my fireplace for all the patriotic holidays and in honor of my deployed soldier. The box came smushed, but that was all on the Post Office. Looking forward to enjoying this for many years.
