Journal of Light
The Visual Diary of a Florida Nature Photographer
by John Moran (Author)

Orlando Weekly, December 2, 2004
Moran captures...our state's rapidly evaporating natural beauty in a way that's inspiring.

St. Petersburg Times, February 13, 2004
Journal of Light is an unusual look at Florida--unusual and refreshingly honest.

Charleston Post and Courier, March 13, 2005
...a vivid billet-doux to [Moran's] adopted home, reminding us of what survives the onslaught, at least for now...


   
   
River of Lakes
A Journey on Florida's St. Johns River
By Bill Belleville

Eighteen of Florida’s best-loved writers here share with you their affection for Florida’s wild side--the beautiful heart of a state under siege from development. Carl Hiaasen, Randy Wayne White, Al Burt, Patrick Smith, the late Archie Carr, and others evoke a Florida thick with pinewoods, alligators, and palmetto scrub; ribboned by miles of coast and dune; blessed with backcountry lakes, rivers, creeks, and springs. Strip malls and concrete cannot tame this wild Florida, but they can kill it. These essays offer passionate argument why that should not be allowed to happen.
