Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Exquisite full color images, an essay and scientific fact combine to create a title that explores the Everglades and its current precarious condition. Through research, discussions with biologists, and hours trekking through the swamps, marshes and forests of the Everglades, Curzon highlights the continued threats to this precious ecosystem. A large format book with visual beauty to entice the reader to attend to the book's substantive message-Night is falling in the Everglades.

Biografía del autor:

JOEL M. CURZON grew up primarily in Utah, where the southern Wasatch Mountains look out over the Great Basin. In college he majored in physics and studied philosophy, graduating magna cum laude in 1995; he later attended Harvard Law School, from which he graduated in 1999. After practicing law for several years in Silicon Valley, Joel ceased full-time practice in 2003 in order to focus on writing and photography. He met his wife at Harvard--a fellow law student who grew up in Calcutta, India--and they currently reside in
San Diego, California.

Curzon began his photographic work in the Everglades in 2002, and subsequently spent months exploring and photographing the Everglades region during repeated trips in the years that followed. During this time he became a student of the region's ecology; he also became an observer and critic of the ongoing restoration efforts, which he came to see as deeply flawed and inadequate.
