520    The Everglades was once reviled as a liquid wasteland, and
       Americans dreamed of draining it. Now it is revered as a 
       national treasure, and Americans have launched the largest
       environmental project in history to try to save it. The 
       Swamp is the stunning story of the destruction and 
       possible resurrection of the Everglades, the saga of man's
       abuse of nature in southern Florida and his unprecedented 
       efforts to make amends. Michael Grunwald, a prize-winning 
       national reporter for The Washington Post, takes readers 
       on a riveting journey from the Ice Ages to the present, 
       illuminating the natural, social and political history of 
       one of America's most beguiling but least understood 
       patches of land.
