William Stanek's The Living Everglades Biography: Water, Wildlife, and the Fight to Save a River of Grass

The Everglades is a river wide enough to look like land.

Water once moved across South Florida with a freedom modern boundaries, canals, roads, farms, and cities would profoundly alter. Wildlife adapted to the timing of wet and dry. Human communities knew and used the landscape long before drainage became a vision of progress.

William Stanek's The Living Everglades Biography follows water, wetlands, Indigenous presence, development, drainage, wildlife loss, park creation, pollution, restoration, invasive species, storms, and the enormous modern effort to repair a system changed far beyond its boundary.

This is the story of a landscape that cannot be saved by protecting scenery alone.

To save the Everglades, water itself must be allowed to live.
