The Once and Future Great Lakes Country
March 09, 2014
A new book by Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) Chief Science Officer and National Director of Conservation Operations, John Riley, presents a detailed accounting of the geologic, natural and human history of the Great Lakes Region - an area that, according to Riley, "now supports a population of more than forty-five million and a shared annual economy of more than $1 trillion. It is a place that is open to the continent, and now to the world, more of a crossroads than anything separate or insular."
Copies of the latest paperback edition will be available for an amazing low price of $25, which includes GST. The paperback ordinarily sells for $31.95, including GST, so we are offering a deal. And a good book. Thank you to the publisher and to Linda Read for organizing this.
John Riley led NCC's project to study the biodiversity of each region, and complete ecoregional assessments, or conservation blueprints, for every part of Canada's south.
