Reviews

"Relatively little attention has been given to the world's vast boreal wildernesses, yet they are among the most vulnerable to global and other human disturbance. This remarkable and authoritative book is a welcome exception." - Edward O. Wilson, Professor Emeritus, Harvard University "This remarkable Precambrian lake region of central Canada has served as a fulcrum for a significant part of modern limnological understanding." --Robert G. Wetzel, Kenan Professor of Environmental Science, University of North Carolina "The lake trout is an ideal icon to encourage the wise management of Shield waters." John J. Magnuson, Center for Limnology, University of Wisconsin
