What a fascinating book! Miami region is such a beautiful and interesting place full of everything the authors describe and provide through pictures. Even having spent a good bit of time in time in the area, I learned a lot from this book. It is written in a way that even someone mildly interested in the region or topical genre can find something to enjoy within the pages of this work.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the dARC of this work in exchange for my honest review.

This was a really interesting and creatively done book! I could see using this within homeschooling and to take upon trips if you go down to Miami. Very enlightening.

This was an amazing book! The pictures are beautiful and so vivid. The outline was well thought out and easy to follow. I found the information to be so useful and so interesting. There was complete info about animals and flora and land areas. I really wish that I had this book two years ago when I was in Miami. This gave some walk ideas and tour ideas that sound great. I would find this book to be very useful for an outdoor trip in the Miami area. Greatly impressed.

Friends of mine have been trying to convince me to visit them in Miami for a couple years now and so I took it as a sign when this Wild Miami book came up for review. Yes, even the universe wants me to visit Miami it seems. And after delving into the pages of this stunning, informative guide, I can see why.

Aside from a comprehensive overview of the local flora and fauna, I love that I also got a history lesson into the city and the authors also didn’t shy away from coastal crisis issues.

There are maps, trip suggestions and just a wealth of knowledge any visitor can benefit from. I dare say the people of Miami would find this book equally fascinating.

This has definitely added some destinations onto my Miami itinerary.

What a gorgeous and informative book! Too often, Miami and South Florida are seen only as places to drink, carouse and lay around on the beach. In this book, travelers will get to know the real Florida, the wild and tropical beauty that is so easily forgotten amidst the flash and neon. A must read for tourists and residents alike
