Summary:  A compelling exploration of Lake Superior's conservation recovery and what it can teach us in the face of climate change. Lake Superior, the largest lake in the world, has had a remarkable history, including resource extraction and industrial exploitation that caused nearly irreversible degradation. But in the past fifty years it has experienced a remarkable recovery and rebirth. Environmental historian Nancy Langston offers a portrait of the lake's environmental and social history, asking what lessons we should take from the conservation recovery as this extraordinary lake faces new environmental threats. Langston reveals hope in ecosystem resilience and the power of community advocacy, noting ways Lake Superior has rebounded from the effects of deforestation and toxic waste wrought by mining and paper manufacturing. Yet, despite the lake's resilience, threats persist. Langston cautions readers regarding new mining interests and persistent toxic pollutants that are mobilizing with climate change. Nancy Langston is professor of environmental history at Michigan Technological University and the author of Toxic Bodies. She lives on the Keweenaw Peninsula of Lake Superior.
