Description
The Death and Life of the Great Lakes by Dan Egan is an investigative environmental account of the ecological crisis facing North America’s largest freshwater system. Covering Lakes Erie, Huron, Michigan, Ontario, and Superior, this 364-page paperback explores how these inland seas—holding 20 percent of the world’s surface fresh water—support millions of people while confronting unprecedented threats.
Egan blends history, science, and policy analysis to examine invasive species, pollution, climate pressure, and mismanagement affecting the Great Lakes. The book outlines both the environmental perils and the restoration efforts aimed at preserving this irreplaceable freshwater resource for future generations.
Readers seeking to understand freshwater conservation, watershed protection, and regional environmental advocacy can learn more through the Alliance for the Great Lakes—one of our 1% for the Planet non profit partners. A powerful narrative about water security and ecological responsibility.
