Florida's Megatrends

the long version

"Florida began the twentieth century rooted in the Confederacy, the least populated of the southern states, with a rural, agricultural, frontier society. By the end of the century, it had become the most populated, urban, and ethnically diverse state in the South - and the fourth largest in the nation. The state's economy is no longer dominated by agriculture but by tourism, construction, commerce, and technology. In Florida's Megatrends, two of Florida's most respected scholars examine the evolution of the state, the remarkable changes that have shaped it, and the relevant concerns facing Florida in the future from political, historical, sociological, economic, and environmental perspectives."--BOOK JACKET.
