She’s sure there’s worse to follow--and she’s right. Ford follows the trail deep into the Everglades, where a shady character and his get-rich-quick scheme are about to put both of their lives on the endangered list.

Tree Islands of the Everglades brings together for the first time experts in anthropology, ecology, geology, paleontology, wildlife, and landscape modelling to review the state of our understanding of the small, forested islands that are a feature of most large wetlands.
