"Dan Egan’s deeply researched and sharply written The Death and
Life of The Great Lakes…nimbly splices together history, science,
reporting and personal experiences into a taut and cautiously
hopeful narrative…Egan’s book is bursting with life (and yes,
death)."
*Robert Moor - New York Times Book Review*
"Engaging…[and] impeccably researched…Told like a great story
rather than an academic lecture."
*Anna M. Michalak - Nature*

Lakes] is easy to read, offering well-paced, intellectually
stimulating arguments, bolstered by well-researched and captivating
narratives."

"Fascinating and brilliant."
*Vicky Albritton and Fredrik Albritton Jonsson - Los Angeles Review
of Books*

"An accessible, even gripping narrative about the massive,
unforeseen costs of our interventions in the natural world. . . .
The Death and Life of the Great Lakes is an engaging, vitally
important work of science journalism."
*Eva Holland - The Globe and Mail*
"The Death and Life of the Great Lakes reads like a mystery. . . .
Egan knows how to pare a story to its most interesting elements.
Having finished the book, I immediately started over."
*Louise Erdrich*

chronicle the decline of this once-great ecosystem, to alert the
public to new threats, and to force governments to take remedial
action."
