Fresh Water: Women Writing on the Great Lakes, edited by Alison Swan

essays brings to life the sights, smells and sounds of Michigan's best-known

history, these distinguished writers provide insight into everyday Michigan, 
and both the gifts and perils along Michigan's shores and in their own 
lives.

Alexander (Michigan State University Press) - Take a journey down the 
Muskegon River in this well-written scholarly study that explores the 
waterway's environmental history and possible future.  Detailing and 
exploring the responsibilities every Michigan citizen has for taking care of 
the Muskegon River watershed and the Great Lakes, readers are challenged to 
be better custodians of our cherished waters.
