Product Description
The latest addition to Pelican’s coastal charts series features full-color NOAA nautical charts for the waters from the Port of Miami to the Dry Tortugas. Beautifully produced with hard covers and a flexible spiral binding, these maps are sturdy and easy to use. Focusing on two routes to the Florida Keys--the inside route via the Intracoastal Waterway or the offshore option through Hawk Channel--"Coastal Charts for Cruising the Florida Keys" uses easy-to-read symbols to clearly mark anchorages, marinas, fueling stations, bridges, depth soundings, restaurants, historical sites, and other important bits of information for boaters.

"Coastal Charts for Cruising the Florida Keys" are effective when used alone or as a companion to the new "Cruising the Florida Keys" by Claiborne Young and Morgan Stinemetz. Every site and symbol noted in the chart book is cross-referenced to the corresponding page in the cruising guide, so boaters can access more information instantly. ... Read more

Good Purchase !!!
Basically these authors know what they're talking about and get the job done. This guide is worth every penny.. My only complaint is that the photos should be in color... If they made that one upgrade, I would give them five *****. This guide gets the job done...

Wonderful Book
We gave this as a gift to my In-Laws because they just bought a beautiful new boat. The book provides all the information you could possibly want. Its a great reference.

Crusing the Florida Keys
The book is very informative, and detailed.The only problem is that is is very large almost 600 pages and 2 inches thick.The book is not wire bound so handling it on deck while unway is somewhat risky.Best to study before putting up the sails.
The authors are obviously quite experienced in cruising this part of the country, & filled the publication with much important information.

Great Keys Book
We used this extensively on our travels to the Keys and gunkholed all over the place, including the Fla Bay, Flamingo. A must have book ... Read more

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Allapattah is a neighborhood mostly in the City of Miami, Florida, and partly in an adjacent unincorporated area of Miami-Dade County, United States. Map of Miami neighborhoods It is located at , with an elevation of 10 feet (3.0 m). The name is derived from the Seminole Indian language word meaning alligator. At the beginning of the 20th Century, the area was known as the Allapattah Prairie. The area is northwest of downtown, and about five miles east of Miami International Airport. Allapattah was predominantly white from early in the 20th Century until the late 1950s, when there was a large influx of African-Americans displaced by the construction of Interstate Highway 95. Cubans began moving into the neighborhood in the 1960s. In the 1980s, there was an influx of Dominicans, Nicaraguans, Hondurans, and later, Haitians. It was then that the area began to become the mix that it is today. Now, residents from all across the Caribbean, Central America, and Latin America reside in the area of Allapattah. Today, many of the businesses and educational institutions in the neighborhood are generally located on Northwest 36th Street (US 27). The boundaries are roughly as follows: to the north, Northwest State Road 112, to the south, the Miami River and State Road 836, to the east, Interstate 95, and to the west, Northwest 27th Avenue (Unity Boulevard).

Chapters: Fun Coast. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 64. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Fun Coast The Fun Coast is a region of Florida, in the United States. It extends along the Atlantic, or eastern, coast of the state, from Marineland to Canaveral National Seashore, and includes all of Flagler County and Volusia County. It is bounded by the Space Coast on the south and by the First Coast on the north. It is bounded by the Central Florida region on the west, and by the Atlantic Ocean on the east. Although Flagler County is sometimes included with the First Coast region, and Volusia County is sometimes included with the Central Florida region for demographics and statistics, those regions frequently omit the two counties in publications and guides (see also: Forgotten Coast). This caused the local governments and NGOs in Flagler and Volusia to pool their resources and cooperate in many affairs. The Convention and visitor bureaus in both counties started to promote the region as Florida's Fun Coast. The Fun Coast region has a humid subtropical climate (Koppen Cfa), with warm temperatures and the threat of thunderstorms during the summer, and rare winter frosts on occasion. The area is listed by the USDA as being in hardiness zone 9, which is about the northern limit of where Date palms can be grown. Highs usually range between 71 and 91 °F (21 and 33 °C) year round. The United States Census Bureau separates the Fun Coast into two metropolitan statistical areas. The Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach Metropolitan Statistical Area includes Volusia County. The Palm Coast, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area includes Flagler County. The region is governed by the two counties in the area. In total there are 21 municipalities or incorporated places in the region. Each one of the mu...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=21734587 ... Read more

History The gardens began in 1923 when Alfred Barmore Maclay (1871-1944) and his wife, Louise Fleischman, bought the site. Maclay named his gardens Killearn, after the birth place of his great-grandfather in Scotland , and developed them continuously until his death. His wife continued their development, opened them to the public in 1946, and in 1953 donated some 307 acres (1.24 km ) of their estate, including the gardens, to the Florida Board of Park Service. In 1965 the gardens were renamed in Maclay's honor. Biology Alfred B. Maclay Gardens State Park with Lake... ... Read more

Excerpt: Greater Orlando, alternatively known as the Orlando Area or Metro Orlando, is the third most populated metropolitan region in the state of Florida, the eighth most populated in the Southern United States, and contains the 27th-largest metro area in the United States within the 16th largest Combined Statistical Area. It is defined by the Office of Management and Budget for census purposes as the Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, Florida, Metropolitan Statistical Area. The MSA consists of Lake, Osceola, Orange and Seminole Counties. Greater Orlando has a population of 2,082,421 according to the U.S. Census Bureau 2009 population estimates. The size of the city of Orlando is very unusual for a metropolitan area of its size since most of the inhabitants of the area live in the suburbs and surrounding areas in Orange and Seminole counties, whereas the total population of the city proper is only 230,519 people (2008 estimate). The Orlando-Kissimmee MSA is also combined with the metropolitan areas of Deltona (Volusia County) and Palm Coast (Flagler County), plus the micropolitan area of The Villages (Sumter County), to create the Orlando-Deltona-Daytona Beach, Florida, Combined Statistical Area (shaded pink in map to right), with a total population (as of 2009) of 2,747,614. Brevard County and Indian River County are economically tied to Orlando, but are in their own respective metropolitan areas. Polk County is also a separate metropolitan area, however it is economically tied to and is served by media outlets from both Tampa and Orlando. List of amusement parks in Greater Orlando and List of Orlando, Florida attractions Greater Orlando is best known for its tourism industry, which attracts millions of visitors each year.

Generic and unoriginal...
As a geography teacher, I thought this book would be a great resource.Unfortunately, it is filled with unoriginal projects and activities.The author seems to have substituted the state of "Florida" in where any state could apply.Additionally, there is no age range listed for this book.I teach middle grades, but many of these projects are geared towards K-2.Do not waste your money on this book.The Internet has thousands of better projects and activities to enhance your teaching and inspire your student's learning. ...

Product Description
other books have focused on environmental injustice in the U.S. South, no single volume has examined such issues and problems in Florida at the metropolitan scale. This book is a compilation of original empirical research on the nexus between the environmental and social inequalities in Tampa Bay, Florida's fastest growing metropolitan area. Systematic research about spatial and environmental justice are largely absent from the rich historiography of Florida, especially the Tampa Bay metropolitan area of southwest Florida. Recent empirical evidence suggests that environmental justice is a real and emergent problem within Tampa Bay afflicting many deprived communities and socially excluded groups. Moreover, certain communities are not only unevenly exposed to environmental risks, but are also disproportionately vulnerable to their many adverse health effects. Our book thus fills a critical need to explore both the causes and consequences of environmental injustice in Tampa Bay.This book combines the latest theoretical insights on spatial and environmental justice with empirical case studies which examine racial/ethnic and socioeconomic inequities associated with various undesirable land uses and pollution sources in Hillsborough County, Tampa Bay's largest population and economic center.The book offers a progressive approach to a more long-term, comprehensive examination of a rapidly emerging field of study that provides academic scholars and decision-makers with new perspectives on a variety of environmental and social challenges confronting metropolitan Florida in the 21st century. It could offer guidance to metropolitan policy makers and planners, especially public health professionals, social welfare providers, infrastructure developers, emergency responders, and community activists. For this reason, this book should also be of interest to business associations, environmental groups, and members of the general public. ... Read more
