Synopsis Roadside Geology of Florida by : Jonathan R. Bryan
Walt Disney World, the moon landing, shark attacks these are things the average person readily associates with Florida, but geology . . . ? Not so much. Roadside Geology of Florida is fixing to change that. From the panhandle through the Central Lakes District all the way to the Dry Tortugas, authors Bryan, Scott, and Means lead you through a world of cavernous limestone, roiling springheads, and rock strata containing the remains of some of the strangest animals that ever walked the Earth. The latest in this one-of-a-kind series, the Roadside Geology of Florida is divided into five regions, following Florida's roads to its geological wonders. Along the roads you'll encounter a sinkhole that swallowed several buildings in Winter Park; sand dunes stranded high and dry with no shoreline in sight; and Titanis walleri, a 6-foot-tall, predatory flightless bird. With its concise descriptions, clearly written explanations, and voluminous color photographs and illustrations, this book will enthrall readers as they tour the Sunshine State, which, by the way, is the most recent addition to the North American continent.

Synopsis Nature's Own Attraction by : Thomas Kenning
The decades after World War II were a golden age for roadside attractions in the Sunshine State. The advent of the family automobile put Florida's exotic flora and fauna within easy reach for millions of curious Americans. Entrepreneurs were happy to meet that demand, setting up for-profit nature parks around four of Florida's most splendid natural springs--at Silver Springs, Homosassa, Rainbow Springs, and Weeki Wachee. To distinguish themselves in a crowded field, these roadside operators upped the ante on weird, sweetening nature's majesty with theme park fantasy in the form of hippos, macaques, and mermaids, oh my! Though these gimmicky roadside parks ultimately fell out of favor as commercial ventures, this truly wooly and weird chapter in Florida's history lives on, fully-integrated by popular demand into the state park system. Lovingly documented across more than 135 full-color photographs, Nature's Own Attraction: A History of Florida's Roadside Springs presents a living history of Florida's bygone roadside era--a special kind of man-made Florida wildness vying for attention alongside the native, natural Florida wilderness that we all know and love.
