Description

The Past due, Great Lakes is a formidable indictment of man’s carelessness, lack of know-how, and apathy toward the Great Lakes. With the longest continuous coastline in the US, they hold one-fifth of the sector’s freshwater provide. Writer William Ashworth presents a compelling history of the Great Lakes, from their formation within the Ice Age, to their “discovery” by Samuel de Champlian in 1615, and, after all, to their impending death in our time. Ashworth systematically deals with the wild life that after flourished within the region-beaver, salmon, whitefish, and trout-and describes the threatening elements which have displaced them-the predatory sea lamprey, the alewives, toxic waste, and volatile solids.
