Title: Snake in the grass
Description: "A plague is spreading throughout the Florida Everglades. Nonnative Burmese  pythons--one of the largest snakes on the planet--are now known to be  reproducing freely in the shallow waters of the famed River of Grass. Over the  past decade, thousands of pythons have made themselves at home across the  landscape. And though scientists work feverishly to learn as much as possible  about this unprecedented invader, methods of control remain elusive. Many questions remain in the wake of this troubling discovery. How far  north might the Burmese python venture from the Everglades wilderness? What  might their presence mean for the countless birds and mammals--some of them  endangered--with which south Florida has become synonymous? And does history  seem poised to repeat itself as new, large reptiles are discovered to be  thriving in the area's favorable climate? The story unfolding in the Florida  Everglades provides new opportunities to revisit our understanding of wilderness  and man's place within it"--
