The Waters Of Michigan (Dave Dempsey Environmental Studies) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
This book presents Michigan's greatest resource through the lens of a camera. 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 runbetween and among them. The 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. The 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.

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.
Dave Dempsey's warm prose for the Michigan waters he knows so well, and has labored so long to protect, is beautifully matched with David Lubbers memorable photographs of the large lakes, flowing rivers, and remote ponds and backwaters that make Michigan one of nature's jewels. A must have book for anyone who has had, or will have, Michigan and its waters touch their lives.
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!
Great B & W photos of Michigan's waters with interesting and important information on the history of the role water plays in our state.
This book is very nice with well written explanations. I had hoped there would be more pictures with animal water interactions.
