No one did more than Marjory Stoneman Douglas to transform the Everglades from the country's most maligned swamp into its most beloved wetland. By the late twentieth century, her name and her classic The Everglades: River of Grass had become synonymous with Everglades protection. The crusading resolve and boundless energy of this implacable elder won the hearts of an admiring public while confounding her opponents--growth merchants intent on having their way with the Everglades. Douglas's efforts ultimately earned her a place among a mere handful of individuals honored as a namesake of a national wilderness area.
In the first comprehensive biography of Douglas, Jack E. Davis explores the 108-year life of this compelling woman. Douglas was more than an environmental activist. She was a suffragist, a lifetime feminist and supporter of the ERA, a champion of social justice, and an author of diverse literary talent. She came of age literally and professionally during the American environmental century, the century in which Americans mobilized an unprecedented popular movement to counter the equally unprecedented liberties they had taken in exploiting, polluting, and destroying the natural world. The Everglades were a living barometer of America's often tentative shift toward greater environmental responsibility. Reconstructing this larger picture, Davis recounts the shifts in Douglas's own life and her instrumental role in four important developments that contributed to Everglades protection: the making of a positive wetland image, the creation of a national park, the expanding influence of ecological science, and the rise of the modern environmental movement. In the grand but beleaguered Everglades, which Douglas came to understand is a vast natural system that supports human life, she saw nature's providence.Binding Type: Paperback

Essential Emergency Kit That Every Vehicle Should Have
After experiencing a flat tire on a remote highway late at night, I realized how unprepared I was for roadside emergencies. That experience led me to purchase the AUTOWN Flat Tire Repair Kit, and I'm incredibly grateful to now have this comprehensive solution in my vehicle. This kit has already saved me twice from having to call for expensive roadside assistance, and the peace of mind it provides is absolutely priceless.
The 31-piece kit is impressively complete. It includes everything you need to handle a flat tire emergency, from the tire plugs themselves to insertion tools, rasps, and even extras that many cheaper kits omit. The variety of plug sizes means you can handle different types of punctures, and having multiple plugs means you're prepared for more than one emergency before needing to restock.
What sets this kit apart is the quality of the tools. The T-handle insertion tool feels solid and well-made, not like the flimsy plastic tools that come with some budget kits. The reamer tool cuts through damaged rubber cleanly and efficiently, making it easy to prepare the puncture hole for the plug. Having used cheaper tire repair kits in the past that broke during use, I really appreciate the durability and reliability of these tools.
The storage case is another thoughtful feature that makes this kit practical for vehicle storage. Everything fits neatly in the organized case with dedicated spaces for each component, which means you can quickly find what you need during an emergency. The case is compact enough to fit in a glove box or under a seat, but it's also rugged enough to withstand being rattled around in a trunk without falling apart.
Using this kit is surprisingly straightforward, even for someone without extensive automotive experience. The process involves identifying the puncture, using the reamer to prepare the hole, inserting the plug with the T-handle tool, and trimming the excess. I was able to successfully repair a puncture on my first attempt following the basic instructions, and the repair has held perfectly for months of daily driving.

Complete and very handy tire repair kit
I bought this tire repair kit to keep in my vehicle for emergencies, and it has already come in handy. The kit comes with everything needed to fix a flat quickly, and having all the tools in one case is very convenient.
The plugs worked well and sealed the puncture properly, allowing me to get back on the road without issues. The tools feel solid and easy to use, even if you don’t have a lot of experience with tire repairs.
The case is a bit tight once everything is packed back in, but that’s a small issue. Overall, this is a reliable and practical kit that’s great to have for cars, motorcycles, or other vehicles. I’m very glad I bought it.

Great in every way
Nice kit full of useful tools to fix punctures in tires better than anything I have ever tried before. The quality is pretty good - good enough to do what it’s supposed to do. It’s better if you fix your tire when it’s off of your car. It’s a lot easier to push the plug down when your standing and can use your body weight rather than laying on the ground in an awkward position and trying to push the plug in. I did the latter and it was not fun. I lived and learned. Anyhow, I wasn’t going to drive on rims essentially with a flat to get it repaired somewhere so this was a fantastic buy.
