Egan begins his book with a brief history of the Great Lakes. He explains that the lakes were formed by glaciers during the last ice age, and that they have been a vital part of the North American ecosystem for thousands of years. However, the lakes have also been subject to a number of human impacts, including pollution, overfishing, and the of invasive species.

Egan argues that the most serious threat to the Great Lakes is pollution. He points out that the lakes have been polluted by a variety of sources, including industrial waste, agricultural runoff, and sewage. This pollution has had a number of negative impacts on the lakes, including causing fish kills, harming wildlife, and contaminating drinking water.

Egan also discusses the threat of climate change to the Great Lakes. He explains that climate change is causing the lakes to warm, which is having a number of negative impacts on the lakes, including causing fish to die off, harming wildlife, and increasing the risk of flooding. Egan argues that climate change is a serious threat to the Great Lakes, and that we need to take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

In addition to pollution and climate change, Egan also discusses the threat of invasive species to the Great Lakes. He explains that invasive species are non-native species that have been introduced to the Great Lakes, and that they can have a number of negative impacts on the lakes, including outcompeting native species, harming wildlife, and damaging the economy.

Egan argues that the Great Lakes are facing a number of serious threats, but he also believes that the lakes can be saved. He offers a number of solutions to the threats facing the lakes, including reducing pollution, mitigating climate change, and controlling invasive species. He also argues that we need to invest in the Great Lakes, and that we need to work together to protect these vital ecosystems.

The Death and Life of the Great Lakes is a powerful and important book. Egan tells the story of the Great Lakes in a clear and engaging way, and he makes a compelling case for protecting these vital ecosystems. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the Great Lakes, or in the environment.
