Elder provides a uniquely moving insider's perspective into the quest to protect the Great Lakes and surrounding public lands, from past battles to protect Michigan wilderness and establish the region's national lakeshores to present fights against toxic pollution and climate change. Situated within the region's broader history, Wilderness, Water, and Rust argues endless cycles of resource exploitation and boom and bust created the "rust belt" legacy, and for the Great Lakes' natural and human communities to thrive, we must imagine new ways of living in the region.
