520    "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."--Page 4 of cover.
