About This Item
Athens, GA: The University of Georgia Press, 2009. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo. SIGNED and dated by author to title page. Blue cloth boards. xxv, 758 pp., [26] p.p. B&W photo plates. Some very light rubbing to extremities. Light bumping to edges of dust jacket. A near fine copy overall. No one did more than Marjory Stoneman Douglas to transform the Everglades from teh country's most maligned swamp into its most beloved wetland. In the first comprehensive biography of Douglas, Jack E. Davis explores the 108-year life of this compelling woman. Douglas was more than an environmental activist. She was a suffragist, a lifetime feminist, a champion of social justice, and an author of diverse literary talent.
