Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Ever since French explorer Samuel de Champlainâs first taste of what he called Âla mer douceâ  the freshwater sea  the Great Lakes have been admired, exploited, and renewed. This vast region is a study in contrasts: a hub of industry thatâs the resting spot for billions of migrating birds. 40 million residents, immense untamed forests. 95 percent of North Americaâs fresh water and a dumping ground for poisonous wastes. The Great Lakes is an authoritative, accessible look at an ecosystem in eternal flux. Written by one of North Americaâs most acclaimed science and nature writers, the book explores the areaâs geological formation and its role in human history; its diverse plant, bird, and animal species; and its significant physical, climatic, and environmental features. This captivating tribute to the Great Lakes region is also an essential guide to the challenge of preserving the natural world.
