Florida's Fabulous Natural Places

This is a wonderful book on the natural beauty Florida has to offer. Forget about theme parks. These places are real life changing locations not fantasy. I highly recommend this book for those looking to see amazing scenery.

This excellent book is one both residents of Florida and visitors to that state will enjoy, and refer to again and again. The color photography is peerless and well-selected. The text is easily readable and proceeds in a logical, understandable fashion, beginning in the Northwest Florida panhandle and proceeding south through the Keys.Florida's Fabulous Natural Wonders review the jewels of Florida nature, as preserved in the Federal and State park systems. In addition to such obvious topics as Everglades National Park, you will learn about, and see Florida's tallest waterfall; yes, it's 67 feet high, Florida largest lake, the biggest springs in the country, and much, much more.A particularly attractive feature of this book is a listing of all of these parks in the back of the book, together with their location, and what each park contains. This is very helpful for planning entire vacations as well as simple day trips. The Table of Contents is on the last page, but now that you have read this review, you know where to look.I suggest that any visitor to Florida should obtain this book beforehand, so as to plan ahead for seeing and experiencing the many wonderful natural things this increasingly populated state has managed to preserve. This book is a fine compliment to "Florida's Natural Wonders", a book I have previously reviewed. I recommend each book very highly on its own, but, together, they are exemplary.

This book is excellent not only does it highlight the differences in Florida's nature spaces but it also divides the state into regions with a relevant 'map' which enables you to take the trek, an adventure itself! I intend to make great use of this as a nature photographer and enjoy the wilderness in my own 'backyard' so to speak.

I can give the book a fabulous review; I think it's the best of the "Florida's Fabulous . . ." series, and all have been good. However, my main purpose for writing is to tell you the correct name of the book is Florida's Fabulous Natural Places (not Nature Places) by Tim Ohr with Pete Carmichael, photographer. I had to go through several steps before pulling it up on your site because of the incorrect title. Thought you'd like to revise it.

Anyone who lives in Florida must have this book. They'll be surprised at how many truly spectacular natural areas are accessible.
