Product Description
80 duotone illustrations present Michigan's greatest resource as seen through the lens of a camera. Foreword by Governor William G. Milliken. One cannot think of Michigan without the image of water. Water as vast as the Great Lakes, as serene as the inland lakes, and as long and lazy or sleek and fast as the numerous byways that run between and among them. Waters of Michigan is a tribute to this treasured resource of Michigan. Combining the vision of internationally renowned photographer David Lubbers with the stewardship focus of environmentalist Dave Dempsey, this collection presents a truly unique view and understanding of the waters of Michigan. Waters of Michigan is a call to all who know the state of Michigan to re see this wonder that is ours and to realize how precious and fragile it is.

A Beautiful Book May 26, 2008
The Waters of Michigan combines gorgeous photography with text that blends science and poetry. Those of us living near the Great Lakes have been startled and frightened by the ecological changes in the Lakes over the last ten years. This book informs the story of those changes while reminding us visually of what is at stake. An important book for anyone who loves the Great Lakes.
A Beautiful Book! May 13, 2008
I love this book! It a photo album of Michigan's magical waterways, and a beautifully written tribute. It is a book that you can read over and over and discover something new each time. It inspires you to want to go to your nearest body of water, and just take in its beauty. I am giving this book as a gift to family and friends!
