Gentle age-discolouration in the gutter of the front and rear board & endpapers. Else book is clean and bright throughout, untanned, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. In a bright untorn dust jacket. -- Archie Carr (1909-1987) was an eminent naturalist, writer, conservationist, and world authority on sea turtles. Throughout his life he wrote on many aspects of natural history, but he was particularly entranced by the wildlife and ecosystems of Florida, where he lived for more than fifty years. This captivating book - a collection of essays on Florida - provides memorable details and anecdotes about the flora, fauna, and humans that have inhabited this colorful landscape. Carr describes the eating rituals of the snakebird; the personality, courtship, and copulation of box turtles; the way skinks (a type of lizard) use their tails when foraging; and the characteristics of Spanish moss. He ponders why fish migrate to create "jubilees" in certain streams, the effects of disappearing ponds on the plants and animals that live in them, and the captivating activities of alligators and alligator snapping turtles. Carr's essays, many but not all previously published in such magazines as Audubon, Field and Stream, and Wildlife ...

New Haven: Yale University Press, Date: 1994. First edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Near fine. Signed on the title page by the editor of the book, the wife of Archie Carr: "For Peggy Ruhine [sp?], with affection, Marjorie Harris Carr, April 1996." Uncommon signed. A notable signature because Marjorie Harris Carr is an important environmentalist in her own right. She was the founder of the Florida Defenders of the Environment and co-founder of the Alachua Audubon Society, both of which led critical conservation efforts in central Florida. Along with a slew (slough?) of Florida recognitions, including induction into the Florida Women's Hall of Fame, she received the National Wildlife Federation's Conservation Science Award, the NY Zoological Society's gold medal for achievement in biological conservation, and the Teddy Roosevelt Conservation Award. She did not write any books herself, but the University Press of Florida published a biography of her in 2014. Published ten years after Archie Carr's death, this book collects "some of his most enchanting essays on Florida" where the Carrs lived for 50 years. Archie Carr was a decorated zoologist at the University of Florida, a turtle expert, and an acclaimed natural history writer, winner of the John Burroughs Medal for The Windward Road. Blurbs on the rear from Carl Hiaasen, Marjory Stoneman Douglas, and Thomas Lovejoy among others. With a foreword by E.O. Wilson. A very near fine book with a faint bit of dust soiling to ...
