His fascination with the lake began then and has continued throughout his life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Lake Effect\u003c\/em\u003e is grounded in the author's personal experiences but moves to wider considerations that include the aesthetic, emotional, historic, economic, and social effects of Lake Michigan. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book captures the lake's mesmerizing beauty in summer and winter. It also examines the way Lake Michigan sustains the economies and societies of every place along its shores. It speaks of the ways human intervention and carelessness have polluted, damaged, and degraded the lake. The book also describes the lake's power-in both water and ice forms-to drown swimmers, wreck ships, destroy beaches, and consume houses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Lake Effect\u003c\/em\u003e explores as well the functions and power of water broadly. Water can be magical and make us healthier, happier, and more peaceful. It can also be an adversary that damages and destroys. Water is equally a comfort and a threat: a mosaic of multiplicity and contradiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 138\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 18, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52987649065267,"sku":"9781958363188","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/g5JNjkUW3c9781958363188.webp?v=1769068365","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-lake-effect-a-lake-michigan-mosaic-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
