Here is a summary of the book from Kirsten’s website:

In her latest book, Kirsten’s photography celebrates Biscayne National Park as it is today for the Park’s golden 50-year anniversary. This book captures in words and images the story of the Park from before its European discovery in the 1500s, to its designation as a national monument in 1968, to now. For the last 50 years the Park has protected the bulk of Biscayne Bay, its Caribbean-style limestone islands topped with tropical forest, its coral reefs, its wildlife, its remnants of a rich human history and its recreational opportunities that continue to attract half a million visitors a year.

South Florida’s Biscayne Bay, its keys, the coral reef and the national park that protects them are celebrated in a new book, Biscayne National Park, featuring the photography of Kirsten Hines and historic images that together tell 300 years of Biscayne’s story.
