The 31 chapters provide a wealth of previously unpublished information, plus topic syntheses, for a wide range of ecological parameters. These include the physical driving forces that created and continue to shape the Everglades and patterns and processes of its flora and fauna. The book summarizes recent studies of the region's vegetation, alligators, wading birds, and endangered species such as the snail kite and Florida panther. This referee-reviewed volume is the product of collaboration among 58 international authors from 27 institutional affiliations over nearly five years.
The book concludes with a synthesis of system-wide restoration hypotheses, as they apply to the Everglades, that represent the integration and a collective viewpoint from the preceding 30 chapters. Techniques and systems learned here can be applied to ecosystems around the world.

Industry Reviews

"Everglades is an extraordinary 825-page compendium of scientific information, and I commend the editors for bringing it to publication...Every wetland scientist and every decision maker with responsibility for water diversion projects should understand this case history and the message of these 57 authors."
Joy B. Zedler, Pacific Estuarine Research Lab, State University, San Diego

"The editors, sponsoring agents, and publisher all deserve credit and thanks for walking a very long mile-it is a benchmark work."
Larry D. Harris, Center for Biological Conservation, University of Florida, Gainesville

"This is the best book ever published on a single wetland or wetland type. Those with an interest in the Everglades or other subtropical or tropical wetland will find it indispensable.
Arnold G. van der Valk
