Michigan Wildflowers

Smith, Helen Vandervort

This volume brings together for the fist time a full treatise on the 43 families, 125 genera, and 377 species of mosses of Michigan. Because most species have a wide distribution the book will be of utility over a much greater area. This volume not only keys, describes and illustrates the moss flora, but gives a history of bryological exploration of Michigan. The illustrations are reproduced from many classic sources and will prove of great aid. A glossary, bibliography, and index are important sections of the book.

Dunes, forests, wetlands, plains, and rocky shores-these habitats and more comprise the mosaic that is the western Great Lakes region. This wide variety of habitats offers exceptional opportunities to see numerous interesting wildflowers. In an approach unique amongst wildflower books, Wildflowers of the Western Great Lakes Region presents more than 270 wildflower species to be found in the states surrounding the western Great Lakes as well as southern Ontario arranged according to the habitats in which they most commonly occur. Within the eleven habitat groupings, the full-color images follow as closely as possible the order in which the flowers can be found blooming in this area. Accompanying the photographs are brief descriptions of one or two salient features that, with the photographs, should enable the reader to identify the plant.

With its long reputation as a polluted and degraded river in the industrial heartland, the Detroit River has been identified by the International Joint Commission as a Great Lakes Area of Concern with impaired beneficial uses. Yet the river has undergone a dramatic rehabilitation, and in July 1998 it was designated by Presidential Executive Order as one of 14 American Heritage Rivers in the United States. The Detroit River-running 32 miles and linking Lake St. Clair to Lake Erie-serves as an invaluable and multifaceted community resource for economic development, environmental stewardship, and historical preservation.Honoring Our Detroit River looks at key aspects of the river's history and impact on the surrounding ecosystem since its formation some 14,000 years ago. The book identifies what is needed to protect and further rehabilitate the Detroit River, exploring specific topics that range from its history with the Native Americans to the river's current-day planning and management. Unique environmental stories highlight the Detroit River's significant progress and help readers to learn more about this valuable resource and to care for it as their home.

An Upper Great Lakes Archaeological Odyssey celebrates the career of Charles E. Cleland-Michigan State University emeritus professor and curator of anthropology-through a series of focused research papers by a distinguished sample of his friends, colleagues, and former students. All ten papers touch on some aspect of Cleland's thirty-five years of research into the past and present of the indigenous peoples of the Upper Great Lakes. Collectively, these contributions demonstrate the rich diversity of both Cleland's research interests as well as the innovative directions of contemporary archaeology in the Great Lakes region.Jim Harrison, noted author and Cleland aficionado, provides a dedication for the volume. What follows is a historical tribute to the career of Charles Cleland, emphasizing his many contributions to the archaeology of the Upper Great Lakes and his profession, as well as his pioneering interactions with Indian peoples. Consequently, the chapters geographically span a generous area of the Upper Great Lakes region, ranging from Illinois and Wisconsin through both peninsulas of Michigan and into Ontario. Casting a broad net, the topics covered by the thirteen contributors span from two thousand years ago to the present, taking new approaches to old problems and providing exciting insights into their evolution and current status. With a new eye and the advantage of hindsight, some authors revisit Cleland's old research haunts, such as the chapters on the Canadian/Carolinian transition zone, the origins of the Great Lakes inland shore fishery, the Late Woodland Heins Creek site, northern ridged field agriculture, and the fur trade archaeology of Fort Michilimackinac. Other topics reveal innovative research into broader issues of historical archaeology, mortuary analysis, subsistence practice at a Mesquakie Fort and the taphonomy of riverine urban environments.The broad range of research in this book will satisfy the eclectic in all, whether interested in ceramics and chronology, mortuary analysis, settlement and subsistence systems, the interactions of Europeans, Americans, and Native peoples during the past four centuries, the origins of indigenous horticulture, or a small piece of Upper Great Lakes archaeology.
