I read this book when it was released, and it is hands down one of my favorite books of the last few years. It's full of meaningful ecology, history, and geography, but it imparts its knowledge in a very accessible way, without jargon and without any sense of elitism. It was easy to follow along, and frankly, I got hooked pretty quickly. I ended up reading slower than usual, simply because I wanted it to last.
Obviously, it's a pretty narrow and specific topic, so it might not be everyone's "cup of tea," so to speak. I love the Gulf Coast, though, and having lived for several years in the southeastern U.S. and having had the privilege of seeing many wild and less developed places along the Gulf Coast, it holds a very special place in my heart and so this book spoke to me in an equally special way.
However, I think that anyone interested in understanding the history of the relationship between humans and the natural world would enjoy this. It is definitely worth your time and your money.
