Reviews
" Mastering the Inland Seas offers a broad panorama of the conflicts, policies, and personalities that created the modern navigation system on the Great Lakes. Far more than just lighthouses, it draws in the political storms of antebellum America, the federal government's role, and the long-term impact of these encounters."--Matthew Lawrence Daley, Grand Valley State University, "Karamanski's prodigious research anchors the book. He provides the kind of gritty detail that derive only from exhaustive research in primary sources. He mines archival and newspaper collections from around the Great Lakes, the records of government agencies, diaries of ship captains and more."-- The Annals of Iowa, "Rare is the history book that belongs on the shelves of scholars and enthusiasts alike. However, with its fascinating subject, rich narrative, and compelling analysis, this is such a book."-- CHOICE Reviews, "Magnificently researched and written with clarity and high energy, Karamanski's Mastering the Inland Seas tells the hidden history of how generations of maritime peoples--from indigenous canoe paddlers to modern mariners--navigated and domesticated the watery wilderness of the Great Lakes."--Robert Michael Morrissey, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, "If you are a lighthouse fan, Civil War buff, weather geek, boat owner, or just love the Great Lakes . . . Mastering the Inland Seas: How Lighthouses, Navigational Aids, and Harbors Transformed the Great Lakes and America , has something to interest you."-- Ogemaw County Voice, "In a sparkling and vigorous narrative, the author describes man's attempt to turn a wild and untamed watery wilderness into a safe, commercial avenue for the transportation of raw materials, manufactured goods, and people."-- Michigan in Books

I received the book I ordered pretty quickly, and it was as described, in good condition. I'm picky, though, about yellowed pages, so I'm returning it. The seller responded quickly and professionally to my returns questions and is covering return shipping costs. A great experience overall.

AMAZING!!! I am so happy with these books! I am very grateful to have found them in such great condition! They arrived exactly as described and were carefully wrapped and protected. It was a cherry on top to receive them so quickly too! I have already started reading them like crazy. They have added so much detailed information to my studying of the Bible and I feel so blessed to have them. I will take care of them just as they were taken care of before me. THANK YOU, SELLER Irenefrancis1950!!!
