The Death and Life of the Great Lakes pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
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.
Dan Egan is a reporter at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and a senior water policy fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's School of Freshwater Sciences. He has twice been a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, and he has won the Alfred I. duPont–Columbia University Award, John B. Oakes Award, AAAS Kavli Science Journalism Award, and J. Anthony Lukas Work-in-Progress Award. A graduate of the Columbia Journalism School, he lives in Milwaukee with his wife and children.
Multi-faceted coverage on the natural and unnatural history of the Great Lakes. Adequately researched and superbly written. My only gripe is that the book originated as newspaper series, so it is a bit repetitive in places. Highly recommend if you are interested in these magnificent bodies of freshwater.
评分Asian carps came to Great Lakes through Chicago Canal, not the Seaway. They are from Arkansas, which imported them to clean up the water:)
