Welcome to Florida - Craig Pittman - Bog

Bag om Welcome to Florida

"A much-loved Florida writer chronicles the quirky, touching, and thought-provoking stories of the Sunshine State today In Welcome to Florida, award-winning investigative journalist and New York Times bestselling author Craig Pittman introduces readers to the people, creatures, places, and issues that make up the Florida of today. Through lively stories told with cutting insight and always with a joke at the ready, Pittman captures the heart of what he calls "The Most Interesting State." From threats to Florida's environment to a hippo that became an official state citizen, these tales range from the moving to the bizarre. Pittman follows the escapades of crime writers, hungry predators, politicians, and developers across the state. At the core of this collection is a deep sense of admiration for the resilience of those who live here. Again and again, this book showcases the power of "ordinary Floridians fighting to save some part of the state that they hold dear." Often, that means folks rallying to protect the state's unique natural landscape; sometimes it means former CIA agents incorporating their own island community. Welcome to Florida is both a love letter to and hilarious deep dive into the nation's fastest-growing state. Imbued with Pittman's characteristic humor and undeniable fondness for both the weird and wonderful parts of his home, this book shows why, despite some of its reputations, Florida continues to prove irresistible.
