Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Longlisted for the National Book Award and a Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Book of the Year Over the centuries, Florida has been many things: an unconquered realm protected by geography, a wilderness that ruined Spanish conquistadors, "god's waiting room," and a place to start over. Depopulated after the extermination of its original native population, today it's home to nineteen million. The site of vicious racial violence, including massacres, slavery, and the roll-back of Reconstruction, Florida is now one of our most diverse states, a dynamic multicultural place with an essential role in 21st-century America. In Finding Florida, journalist T.D. Allman reclaims the remarkable history of Florida from the state's mythologizers, apologists, and boosters. Allman traces the discovery, exploration, and settlement of Florida, its transformation from a swamp to "paradise." Palm Beach, Key West, Miami, Tampa, and Orlando boomed, fortunes were won and lost, land was stolen and flipped, and millions arrived. The product of a decade of research and writing, Finding Florida is a highly original, stylish, and masterful work, the first modern comprehensive history of this fascinating place.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. "An exuberant portrait of the city."--New York Times Book Review   "Superbly reported and deftly written."--Business Week   "An extraordinary look at an extraordinary city."--Edward James Olmos, actor and director, Miami Vice   "As entertaining and as distracting as the city itself."--Washington Times   "After reading this book, I still don''t understand what makes Miami what it is, but that''s why I love this book and that crazy town."--Jimmy Buffett, singer and songwriter   "A delightfully unbuttoned paean to ''Babel on Biscayne Bay.'' . . . As complex, compelling, and colorful as the city it celebrates."--Kirkus   "Not only does T. D. Allman''s portrait of Miami remain, a quarter century later, as smart and funny and keenly observed as it was upon its first publication day, it is vibrantly current and astonishingly prescient. Miami resonates far beyond its immediate subject and illuminates deep truths about America''s--and, indeed, the world''s--twenty-first-century cultural and political turmoil. Not incidentally, Allman''s brilliant prose style endures as well. The book is a joy to read."--Robert Olen Butler, author of A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain   With trenchant observations and witty prose, T. D. Allman takes readers on a tour of Miami''s people, cultures, politics, and neighborhoods. This twenty-fifth anniversary edition remains a classic guide to a city teeming with money, exotic cargo, illegal drugs, and immigrants from all corners of the world. &nbsp.…
