The The Great Lakes

The Great Lakes not only includes a terrific range of information but also, I think, inspires the aspiring bioregionalist-reader to look and think more closely at the relationships between everyday encounters with local flora and fauna…the best parts of the book allow us to catch a glimpse of the rich ecological relations of the watershed, and to consider our everyday actions in light of their inevitable impacts on the water, soil, plants and other animals that compromise the Great lakes – and theirs on us

The The Great Lakes

"...he tantalizes you with a fact that is so intriguing that you really want to keep reading to discover more. For example, did you know that the beaver is the only mammal whose growth is indeterminate? They just keep growing!"

The The Great Lakes

“A beautifully designed, comprehensive gem of a guide to the ecosystem at the heart of Canada.”

The The Great Lakes

“Grady does a stellar job explaining how every creature from monarch butterflies… to Toronto’s skunks… to the frogs of the boreal forest… play out their chimerical or smelly roles in this vast and layered natural drama. …Threats to the Lakes’ integrity are increasingly met with resistance. If the written work is still meaningful in advancing this crucial resistance, this challenging book should be sent into battle immediately, and given a place on the front lines.”

The The Great Lakes

“…Grady writes compellingly about the rocks, forests and creatures of the lakes, as well as the changes for good and bad that have been seen over the years.”

The The Great Lakes

“…the most complete and up-to-date resource about the ecology of the world’s largest freshwater system.”
