“…the most complete and up-to-date resource about the ecology of the world’s largest freshwater system.”

“A beautifully designed, comprehensive gem of a guide to the ecosystem at the heart of Canada.”

“Grady does a stellar job explaining how every creature from monarch butterflies… to Toronto’s skunks… to the frogs of the boreal forest… play out their chimerical or smelly roles in this vast and layered natural drama. …Threats to the Lakes’ integrity are increasingly met with resistance. If the written work is still meaningful in advancing this crucial resistance, this challenging book should be sent into battle immediately, and given a place on the front lines.”

“…Grady writes compellingly about the rocks, forests and creatures of the lakes, as well as the changes for good and bad that have been seen over the years.”

"...he tantalizes you with a fact that is so intriguing that you really want to keep reading to discover more. For example, did you know that the beaver is the only mammal whose growth is indeterminate? They just keep growing!"
