Reviews of “Lakeland”
 Lakeland"Casey writes clearly, offering historical and scientific information, and he writes with the heart of a poet." Chronicle-Herald, Feb 6, 2011 Read more about Lakeland >> |
Lakeland“Emma Lake, a name which for some conjures childhood fishing, beach fun, and summer parties, while for others is synonymous with runaway development and too many people crowded around too little lake. It is both those things for Casey. As he's watched yet another summer cabin torn down to make way for a monster house, he's been galvanized into putting together this book, a reflection on Canadians' relationship with the lakes with which we've been so abundantly blessed.” Star Phoenix, Nov 28, 2009 Read more about Lakeland >> |
Lakeland“Casey wanted to know how other lakes across Canada are faring and to discover the real condition of Lakeland. By visiting 10 lakes across Canada and meeting with ordinary people who live and work on lakes, he gauges the quality of their lives and how the lake has changed over time…the Chapters are eminently readable and they provide a fine beginning place to appreciate lakes we may never visit but whose environmental and economic health is vital to the overall well-being of Lakeland.” Winnipeg Free Press, Oct 17, 2009 Read more about Lakeland >> |
Lakeland“…Once I started the book, I could not put it down. Allan Casey’s love of lakes is infectious, and in many ways, it parallels my own. A long-term lover of lakes can see many of the things that professional scientists measure and quantify and can reach very similar conclusions.” Canadian Geographic, Oct 1, 2009 Read more about Lakeland >> |
LakelandAllan Casey peers deep into Canada’s lakes and sees himself, a nation, and human nature reflected there. His journeys through landscape and history lead to unexpected discoveries; his stories overflow with insight and candor. A heart-felt and compelling adventure, Lakeland rings both sweet and true.
