Florida: The Natural Wonders: When most people think of Florida, they think of rivers of grass and sandy beaches, hardwood hammocks and coral reefs. But the Sunshine State boasts many other natural wonders, including one of the largest underwater cave systems in the continental U.S., a type of prairie found nowhere else in North America, and an ancient forest growing on prehistoric dunes. Natural history writer and photographer Jeff Ripple explores these and many other Florida ecosystems in his book, Florida: The Natural Wonders, which he will discuss tonight at 8:00 p.m. at Books & Books (296 Aragon Ave., Coral Gables). Admission is free. Call 442-4408. (GC)
