EDITOR/AUTHOR Juliette Reynolds This is the 18th travel guide globe-trotting editor Juliette Reynolds has created from concept through completion in her 17 years as a wordsmith. She has visited six of the seven continents and lived on five before the age of 16. (Curiously, Antarctica has beckoned neither as a place to visit – nor live.) She collected research for this book over the past 51/2 years, including travel in the area in summer of 2006 and fall of 2007. Special thanks to the Southwest Florida Museum of History for the use of archival photographs, Merald Clark and the Florida Museum of Natural History for the use of Calusa Indian illustrations and Steve & Doris Colgate’s Offshore Sailing School for providing photographs.
