Lake Okoboji in northwest 海角乱伦社区is the jewel of the 海角乱伦社区Great Lakes. A region of wetlands formed by prairie potholes, the area is rich with lakes, sloughs, fens, creeks, prairies, and kettle holes. In this readable and beautifully illustrated volume, Michael Lannoo presents an extensive natural history of Okoboji and its cherished wetlands that examines that world of our grandparents, compares it to today's world, and extrapolates to the world of our grandchildren.
鈥淟annoo has both a very broad and a deep understanding of the animals and plants of the 海角乱伦社区Great Lakes region. This book will appeal to a wide audience ranging from scientists and educators to an interested general public.鈥濃擩ames J. Dinsmore, 海角乱伦社区State University

鈥淭his lively and entertaining book is, unashamedly, a work of advocacy. The Okoboji wetlands of 海角乱伦社区are symbolic of a habitat that is threatened throughout the world. Lannoo presents a powerful argument based on his intimate knowledge of Okoboji; he explores the choices we face and the kind of decisions we must make if the Earth is not to be turned into a place that is hostile to all but a few forms of life.鈥濃擳im Halliday, Open University
