Book Description
The Great Lakes are the largest collection of fresh surface water on earth, and more than 40 million Americans and Canadians live in their basin. Will we divert water from the Great Lakes, causing them to end up like Central Asia's Aral Sea, which has lost 90 percent of its surface area and 75 percent of its volume since 1960? Or will we come to see that unregulated water withdrawals are ultimately catastrophic? Peter Annin writes a fast-paced account of the people and stories behind these upcoming battles. Destined to be the definitive story for the general public as well as policymakers, The Great Lakes Water Wars is a balanced, comprehensive look behind the scenes at the conflicts and compromises that are the past-and future-of this unique resource.

Book Description
The Great Lakes form the largest freshwater ecosystem on earth, containing 21% of the world's surface fresh water by volume. Shared by two nations, eight states and one province, the region has a rich cultural history of First Nation peoples and European settlers. Later the Great Lakes provided a route for commerce and made possible the immigration that led to the growth of the major industrial and population centers of middle North America. On small ships people are rediscovering what past travelers enjoyed on the steamboats of the 1899s. Today, in safety and luxury you can enjoy this world wonder which, for many people, is right in their own backyard and accessible without long international flights through foreign airports. Richard Detrich has lived along the shores of Lake Michigan and provides you with what you need to know to get the most out of your cruise, as well as providing you with the information you will want to remember long after you return home. Hooked on travel since wandering around Europe as a student, living on $4 a day, Detrich is a popular destination consultant on luxury cruise lines and has lectured on 294 ports around the world, including on two world cruises. He has written about the Panama Canal and Cuba, and when not at sea, lives in the Chiriqui Mountains of Panama on a coffee farm with his wife and dogs.

Anthony Lukas Award "Nimbly splices together history, science, reporting and personal experiences into a taut and cautiously hopeful narrative.… Egan’s book is bursting with life (and yes, death)." —Robert Moor, New York Times Book Review The Great Lakes—Erie, Huron, Michigan, Ontario, and Superior—hold 20 percent of the world’s supply of surface fresh water and provide sustenance, work, and recreation for tens of millions of Americans. But they are under threat as never before, and their problems are spreading across the continent. The Death and Life of the Great Lakes is prize-winning reporter Dan Egan’s compulsively readable portrait of an ecological catastrophe happening right before our eyes, blending the epic story of the lakes with an examination of the perils they face and the ways we can restore and preserve them for generations to come.
