Our Fall/Winter 2015 catalog is now available and we’ve got some spectacular and fascinating reads for the season! Take a look at what’s coming soon from University Press of Florida.
The red Chevy on the cover is from Byron Motley’s Embracing Cuba, a book of vivid photographs that capture the vistas, the people, and the spirit of the real Cuba. Other notable titles include recipes from a pioneer in Florida’s local food movement; the story of Jackie Robinson’s spring training season in Havana before he broke MLB’s color barrier; a Florida cult that believed humans lived inside a hollow earth; the history of Paradise Park, the “colored only” counterpart to Silver Springs; the role of Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry series in American politics and culture; the first bioarchaeological study of the Irish Famine; and a newly discovered manuscript documenting the founding of St. Augustine in 1565.
