About this product
Product Information
"Buchanan's beautifully rendered volume is a must-have for environmentalists and conservationists." -- Publishers Weekly Lynne Buchanan began photographing Florida's inland waters to create artistic records of her connection with those waters and to learn lessons from being in the present moment and aligning with the flow of life. The more time she spent photographing waterways in her native Florida, the more she noticed what was being damaged and lost due to human impact. She resolved to draw attention to the situation through her photography and to work with water-quality and environmental advocates, from members of the Waterkeeper Alliance to Native American citizens fighting to preserve the integrity of their ancestral lands and drinking water. The result is Florida's Changing Waters , which not only showcases the beauty, diversity, and complexity of Florida's waters, but also documents the negative effects of agricultural and industrial pollution, a growing population with its urban growth and land development, and climate change on Florida's inland and coastal waters and springs. Though her work is place specific, the book reveals the interconnected and global nature of environmental problems. Indeed, Florida's fragile springs, wetlands, rivers, and coastal waters can be considered a tragic and powerful example of what is happening to aquatic systems elsewhere in the nation and world as a result of unchecked human action. Buchanan's photographs invite viewers to consider their personal relationship to water and encourage better stewardship of this vital--and finite--resource. They are also a call to action to find more effective ways to preserve these waterways for both their natural beauty and essential role in our survival.

Florida's landscape is unforgettable and irreplaceable, and one can traverse through swampland near low-lying rivers and walk barefoot along sandy shores surrounding the entire state. Photographer Lynne Buchanan has spent years documenting the aesthetics of this environment., It spoke to me, a haunting, beautiful and a terrible testimony to the water loss and damage done to the chain of life by human impact. Buy this book for yourself or your favorite environmental warrior. Buy another copy for your library. Take it to your book club. Discuss. Digest then take action. A beautiful world is in peril., Stirring images of areas like Central Florida's Johnson Springs capture a fading beauty still visible through the muck and slime, and help reinforce Buchanan's argument that Florida's waters are rapidly running out of time. Rounding out the volume are insightful essays by ecologist Robert L. Knight and Stetson University professor Jason M. Evans, the latter noting that with climate change, "it will be impossible to return Florida's waterways and natural ecosystems to some historical 'pristine' state." Buchanan's beautifully rendered volume is a must-have for environmentalists and conservationists, "Stirring images of areas like Central Florida's Johnson Springs capture a fading beauty still visible through the muck and slime, and help reinforce Buchanan's argument that Florida's waters are rapidly running out of time.

Buchanan's beautifully rendered volume is a must-have for environmentalists and conservationists.", Lynne Buchanan's photographs expose the toxic destruction of Florida's inland waters and coastal areas in a devastating indictment of unrestrained industrialization and reckless development., With unspoken irony, Lynne Buchanan's photographs expose the toxic destruction of Florida's inland waters and coastal areas in a devastating indictment of unrestrained industrialization and reckless development. Lynne has crisscrossed the state to find and bear witness to the devastation that we might see, understand, and be moved to action to remediate the situation in this state, which is a bellwether for the rest of the country., Buchanan's stirring images of broad, hopeful horizons and the tenacity of nature contrast terrifying close-ups of human impacts: fecal coliform bacteria imperiling a residential bayou; a sugar-cane ditch draining phosphates and nitrates into Lake Okeechobee; manatees struggling to breathe in toxic algae blooms. 'Florida's Changing Waters' captures a fading beauty, still visible, but rapidly running out of time., "The transformative power of water becomes an environmental cautionary tale in Lynne Buchanan's "Florida's Changing Waters: A Beautiful World in Peril." With the passion of an investigative reporter, Buchanan documents the fragile state of flora and fauna in imminent danger of devastation from the poisoning of Florida's springs, wetlands, rivers and coastal waters.", The photographs in Changing Waters are a document of what is happening and a call to action to preserve these resources for the importance of both their natural beauty and essential role in our survival.
