Overview

Through the use of stunning photography and evocative prose, the authors tell the whole story of Lake Superior, the world's largest body of fresh water. Their encompassing work explores the beauty, the fragility, and the spirit of this national treasure. In a narrative of incredible depth, John and Ann Mahan take us from the formation of the lake, through its countless years of development and its role in human history, right up to the precarious ecological position it holds today.

Complete with:

- 136 brilliant full-color photos

- Comprehensive text

- Full-color time line

- Locator map

An authoritative work of unparalleled scope, the text makes clear exactly what it is that threatens the ecological balance of the Great Lake, and better yet, what we can do to halt this march toward a world resembling that depicted in Rachel Carson's Silent Spring.
