To the student of geology and landforms, the Pictured Rocks region provides an excellent natural laboratory for exploring the materials, processes, and events involved in shaping this most sublime of midwestern landscapes. This book is designed to provide a general overview of our current understanding of this extraordinary terrain and to guide the interested visitor to the best and most accessible field sites. --William L. Blewett from the introduction After reading it you'll understand the entire coastline geologically and historically. You'll see things you've never noticed before and become more than a tourist as the professor guides you through the formations, dates them, explains them, and synthesizes materials on the area not brought together anywhere else before now. . . . For anyone interested in the natural world as its always been, in Michigan history, in an ecological understanding of our state, or simply in hiking while learning, you cant do better than this book. I guarantee, you've never seen the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore quite like this before.--Elizabeth Kane Buzzelli Northern Express
