| Description: | This is a comprehensive book about the Florida Manatee covering all the need-to-knows about the loveable sea cow. Covering evolutionary history, place in the world, anatomy, physiology, lifestyle, mythology, and interaction with humans, Manatees: A Comprehensive Guide to Florida’s Best-Known Marine Mammal will give readers a detailed knowledge of one of Florida’s staple marine creatures. Diane Morgan, known author on many types of mammals such as dogs, horses, and cats, has a vast knowledge of and love for manatees, giving her an earned authority on disseminating a much-needed updated guide to manatees. Most books on manatees are targeted towards marine biologists or children or are so old and outdated that some important facts, like conservation, are not covered as accurately as they need to be for today’s standards. This book will fill a large gap in the discussion on manatees for adult audiences who are interested in the creatures and want to learn more about them. Perfect for Floridians who travel to natural springs, rivers, and ocean areas, Manatees is the book on manatees that anyone can pick up and read when interested in learning a fact or figure, or the history of how manatees were mistaken for mermaids by sailors. |
