A New York Times Bestseller To some people, Florida is a paradise;
to others, a punch line. As Oh, Florida! shows, it's both of these
and, more important, it's a Petri dish, producing trends that end
up influencing the rest of the country. Without Florida there would
be no NASCAR, no Bettie Page pinups, no Glenn Beck radio rants, no
USA Today, no "Stand Your Ground," ...You get the idea. To
outsiders, Florida seems baffling. It's a state where the voters
went for Barack Obama twice, yet elected a Tea Party candidate as
governor. Florida is touted as a carefree paradise, yet it's also
known for its perils--alligators, sinkholes, pythons, hurricanes,
and sharks, to name a few. It attracts 90 million visitors a year,
some drawn by its impressive natural beauty, others bewitched by
its manmade fantasies. Oh, Florida! explores those contradictions
and shows how they fit together to make this the most interesting
state. It is the first book to explore the reasons why Florida is
so wild and weird--and why that's okay. But there is far more to
Florida than its sideshow freakiness. Oh, Florida! explains how
Florida secretly, subtly influences all the other states in the
Union, both for good and for ill.
