I’ll admit it; the state of Florida is something of a mystery to me. I’ve been there a few times, hiking and bird watching here and there, but I’ve yet to develop anything more than a rudimentary understanding of it in either a social or an ecological sense. Fortunately, there are people who do understand it – at least ecologically (and if you count Carl Hiaasen, socially as well) – people like Susan Cerulean.
