Book Description
"According to many sources, the total value of the White Pine of Michigan exceeded that of the gold mined in California, a point well discussed by several writers.My use of the title 'White Pine; Michigan's Gold', refers not as much to any monetary similarities of White Pine and gold as it does to the impetus for settlements by those involved in the business of either.As the discovery of gold on the American River in 1847 brought thousands of miners to California, the White Pine lured thousands of lumbermen to Northern Michigan in the mid 1800's.In both cases, new towns would spring up around the men who worked the claims or mills, and the businesses that followed and served to support them. As the gold or timber played out, some of these towns would die, becoming ghost towns, while others would find new reasons to continue and flourish."

Book Description
Michigan Time Capsule (2023) is a nonfiction collection of sixty-two of my best Fornology.com blog posts written between 2012 and 2022. The original posts were revised for inclusion in this collection, which is a sequel to my last bookDetroit Time Capsule (2022). Most chapters cover Michigan people and places, some famous and others infamous. Other chapters have a broader scope but deserve to be in a "best of" collection. This anthology can be read cover to cover, or each chapter can be read independently with no narrative thread binding one to the other.

Book Description
Award-winning nature author Jerry Dennis reveals the splendor and beauty of North America’s Great Lakes in this “masterwork”* history and memoir of the essential environmental and economical region shared by the United States and Canada. No bodies of water compare to the Great Lakes. Superior is the largest lake on earth, and together all five contain a fifth of the world’s supply of standing fresh water. Their ten thousand miles of shoreline border eight states and a Canadian province and are longer than the entire Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States. Their surface area of 95,000 square miles is greater than New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island combined. People who have never visited them—who have never seen a squall roar across Superior or the horizon stretch unbroken across Michigan or Huron—have no idea how big they are. They are so vast that they dominate much of the geography, climate, and history of North America, affecting the lives of tens of millions of people. The Living Great Lakes: Searching for the Heart of the Inland Seas is the definitive book about the history, nature, and science of these remarkable lakes at the heart of North America. From the geological forces that formed them and the industrial atrocities that nearly destroyed them, to the greatest environmental success stories of our time, Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario are portrayed in all their complexity. A Michigan native, Jerry Dennis also shares his memories of a lifetime on or near the lakes, including a six-week voyage as a crewmember on a tallmasted schooner. On his travels, he collected more stories of the lakes through the eyes of biologists, fishermen, sailors, and others he befriended while hiking the area’s beaches and islands. Through storms and fog, on remote shores and city waterfronts, Dennis explores the five Great Lakes in all seasons and moods and discovers that they and their connecting waters—including the Erie Canal, the Hudson River, and the East Coast from New York to Maine—offer a surprising and bountiful view of America. The result is a meditation on nature and our place in the world, a discussion and cautionary tale about the future of water resources, and a celebration of a place that is both fragile and robust, diverse, rich in history and wildlife, often misunderstood, and worthy of our attention. “This is history at its best and adventure richly described.”—*Doug Stanton, author of In Harm’s Way: The Sinking of the U.S.S.
