Of manatees and man.
Xlibris Corp. (publ. by the author): 1-101.
–From the back cover: "Douglas Faulkner decided to self publish the text Of Manatees and Man because his coffee table book of the same name was not being accepted for publication by the book publishers. The full color version was deemed too expensive, and its comprehensive text was considered too grim for a coffee table book. The manatees are facing extinction in Florida Waters. ... Faulkner believes the text is too important ... not to publish it as a book in itself: even if this abbreviated version ruins his chances for publishing a full format edition...."
The book passionately deplores the threats to manatee survival in Florida, with particular attention to water quality decline at Crystal River.
