  • Cynthia Barnett Let It Rain…
    Cynthia Barnett Let It Rain…Or Not Award-winning journalist and author Cynthia Barnett has reported on water and climate worldwide, from emerging water strife in the eastern U.S. to epic drought in California and the rainiest place on Earth in Cherrapunji, India. Ms. Barnett has written for the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Atlantic, Salon, Discover, Orion, Ensia, and many other publications. She is the author of three books on water, including her newest, Rain: A Natural and Cultural History, and a popular speaker from commencements to keynotes and university lecture series. Her latest topic is an engaging natural and cultural tour of RAIN, from its key roles in civilization, religion, and art; to the peculiar history of the world’s first raincoat; to the rain obsessions of our “Founding Forecaster,” Thomas Jefferson – all building to the uncharted rains of climate change. Too much and not enough, rain is a shared experience, and one of the ways climate change can become a conversation rather than a confrontation. Rain—where it is and where it isn’t—in one of the most critical issues of our time. The New Yorker’s Elizabeth Kolbert calls Rain “a lovely, lyrical, deeply informative book.” Famed American historian Douglas Brinkley describes it as “a landmark work of environmental history … Rain is a triumph.” Ms. Barnett’s first book, Mirage, won the gold medal for best nonfiction in the Florida Book Awards and was named by The St. Petersburg Times as one of the top 10 books that every Floridian should read.

Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León gave the penin- sula its modern name when he stepped ashore on the Atlantic coast in 1513. It was Easter season, known in Spanish as the pascua ›orida. You have no doubt heard that when he discovered Florida, Ponce de León was searching for the Fountain of Youth. One sip from the magi- cal fountain would cure any ailment, keep a man young. To this day, schoolchildren learn the story in fourth grade. But it is not true. The best historical sources, including the highly detailed charter given to him by the king of Spain, offer no evidence that Ponce de León ever gave thought to a Fountain of Youth, much less that he sailed to what is now Florida to look for it. The truth is that Ponce de León carried a contract to settle the lands he discovered and to enslave native people. Such is myth. If it is more appealing than the real story, and if it endures long enough, it can over- come truth. Florida has always drawn powerful mythmakers, so bold in their visions that their made-up stories have often come true. Consider: On the eve of the twentieth century, Florida was home to 12 Mirage: Florida and the Vanishing Water of the Eastern U.S. by Cynthia Barnett http://www.press.umich.edu/titleDetailDesc.do?id=187043 The University of Michigan Press, 2007 History and Myth only 529,000 souls, and among the poorest states in the American South.1 Even as land speculators pitched the place as a balmy, beautiful land of opportunity, they mourned privately over worthless swampland and malarial living conditions.
