Priceless Florida is the only book you'll ever need about Florida ecosystems and what makes them unique, wonderful, and irreplaceable. It should be required reading for every developer, carpetbagger, snowbird, and immigrant who wishes to take up residence in this great (and declining) state. God bless Florida (may God save her as well).

This is a very informative text that includes several useful charts. I used this for a distance-learning college course and found that, even without face-to-face interaction with an instructor, I got my money's worth from the class based on the quality of this book. Of course, it's still a textbook, mind, so don't expect a riveting read. It's instructive, well-illustrated, organized ... all things a textbook should be.
