Nova Road, Daytona Beach FL 32114 US DESCRIPTION: Title: The Swamp: The Everglades, Florida and the Politics of Paradise Author: Michael Grunwald \n Join us for our next Florida history book club meeting at the Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art. The Everglades was once reviled as a liquid wasteland, and Americans dreamed of draining it. Now it is revered as a national treasure, and Americans have launched the largest environmental project in history to try to save it. The Swamp is a stunning story of the destruction and possible resurrection of the Everglades, the saga of man's abuse of nature in southern Florid and his unprecedented efforts to make amends. Michael Grunwald, a prize-winning national reporter for The Washington Post, takes readers on a riveting journey from Ice Ages to the present, illuminating the natural, social and political history of one of America's most beguiling but least understood patches of land. \n Light refreshments will be served. \n RSVP by calling the Museum at 386-255-0285. \n Admission: Free for members, $5.00 for future members. \n \n Florida Vista Book Club Reading List \n 2016 \n November 2016 - Forever Island by Patrick Smith (Fiction) \n December 2016 - Under a Dark Summer Sky by Vanessa LaFaye (Fiction) \n 2017 \n January 2017 - Legendary Locals of Daytona Beach by Mark Lane (Non-Fiction) *Author Visit \n February 2017 - Florida Boy by William Cuyler Hall (Fiction) \n March 2017 - Mosquito Soup by Weona Cleveland (Non-Fiction) \n April 2017 - Last Train to Paradise by Les Standiford (Non-Fiction) \n May 2017 - Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston (Fiction) \n June 2017 - Mr. Flagler's St. Augustine by Thomas Graham (Non-Fiction) \n August 2017 - Don Juan McQueen by Eugenia Price (Fiction) \n September 2017 - Nine Florida Stories by Marjory Stoneman Douglas (Non-Fiction) \n October 2017 - The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings (Fiction) *Luncheon \n November 2017 - White Sugar, Brown Sugar by Michael Pyle (Fiction) *Author Visit \n December 2017 - Scat by Carl Hiaasen (Fiction) \n 2018 \n January 2018 - Mullet on the Beach: The Minorcans in Florida 1768-1788 by Patricia C.
