Sobre este item
Gainesville: University Press of Florida, 2005. First Edition. Signed by the Author. Octavo, gold cloth & blue boards (hardcover), xvii, 457 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: From imperial outpost to tourist empires, the story of Florida is one of astonishing growth. On the eve of Pearl Harbor, Florida was the smallest state in the South. Today it is a megastate, the fourth largest, and emblematic of a growing nation -- a meteoric rise that has encompassed revolutions in agriculture, technology, and demographics. Even as Florida residents coped with the shifts from New Spain to Old South and New South to Sunbelt, the American vernacular grew to accommodate this cultural titan: space coast, climate control, growth management, retirement community, theme park, edge cities, boomburbs, and shopping malls. In Land of Sunshine, State of Dreams, acclaimed state historian Gary Mormino examines the great social, cultural, and economic forces driving this continual transformation.
