The Florida Experience cover

First Published in 2011. The early 1970s will be recorded as the years when Florida's environmental crisis, or, more specifically, its land crisis, was proclaimed. Ever since intensive settlement of Florida began a century ago, people have been trying to remake, with increasingly troubling results, a delicate, low-lying peninsula wrought by natural forces over the geological ages. This study looks at the land crisis and the challenge it presents to the state and local governments.

'... [Carter] records the activities of various land exploiters as they rape and pillage Florida's land and water resources...weaving a well-written chronicle of these rapacious events. It is a book that will interest a wide variety of concerned citizens...an important book describing the land history of one of the fastest-growing states in the US.'
