About this product
Product Information
The Great Lakes are a remarkable repository of millions of years of complex geological transformations and of a considerably shorter, crowded span of human history. Over the course of four summers, Thomas Shevory rode a bicycle along their shores, taking in the stories the lakes tell--of nature's grandeur and decay, of economic might and squandered promise, of exploration, colonization, migration, and military adventure. This book is Shevory's account of his travels, shored up by his exploration of the geological, environmental, historical, and cultural riches harbored by North America's great inland seas. For Shevory, and his readers, his ride is an enlightening, unfailingly engaging course in the Great Lakes' place in geological time and the nation's history. Along the northern shore of Lake Huron, one encounters the scrubbed surfaces of the Canadian Shield, the oldest exposed rock in North America. Growing out of the crags of the Niagara Escarpment, which stretches from the western reaches of Lake Michigan to the spectacular waterfalls between Erie and Ontario, are the white cedars that are among the oldest trees east of the Mississippi. The lakes offer reminders of the fur trade that drew voyageurs to the interior, the disruption of Native American cultures, major battles of the War of 1812, the shipping and logging industries that built the Midwest, the natural splendors preserved and exploited, and the urban communities buoyed or buried by economic changes over time. Throughout The Great Lakes at Ten Miles an Hour , Shevory describes the engaging characters he encounters along the way and the surprising range of country and city landscapes, bustling and serene locales that he experiences, making us true companions on his ride.

Reviews
"An enticing read of what it's like to travel around the Great Lakes on two wheels."-- Traverse City Record Eagle "The picturesque and detailed descriptions ensure readers easily follow along on Shevory's route and will be inspired to plan a biking trip of their own. Those living in the Heartland will appreciate Shevory's regional focus. " -- Green Bay Press Gazette, "Thomas Shevory has provided the reader with a unique window on the Great Lakes--with an emphasis on GREAT! There are many ways to see and experience the lakes--by car, motorcycle, kayak, foot, boat, or bicycle--and to really know the lakes a person must try at least a couple of these options. In this book, Shevory puts you in his panniers and lets you experience periods of cold, head winds, and exhilarating hills and tail winds without having to face your own muscle cramps. The reflections on area histories provide a sense of place, and his encounters and challenges tie the adventure together so that the reader not only admires the rider, but also the landscape he travels through."--Mike Link and Kate Crowley, "An enticing read of what it's like to travel around the Great Lakes on two wheels."-- Traverse City Record Eagle

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
