“If you use these lakes, this is a must-read. . . . This well-researched book draws on personal experience, scientific reports, and research.”
“A great read for all of us who like our northern woods and waters and would like the environment to stay healthy. ”
“This excellent follow up to Rulseh’s A Lakeside Companion covers all the major threats to our lakes. . . . Through it all he talks to numerous experts from Wisconsin and beyond.”
“A marvelously thorough synopsis of the many daunting issues surrounding lake management. Rulseh utilizes case studies, interviews, and a storytelling format to frame the issues, making the book an easy and pleasurable read. He also doesn’t leave the reader wallowing in the problems, instead offering sage advice on the many ways we can turn our love of waters into positive actions to protect them. Highly recommended.”
“Illuminates the tight connection between what we do on the land, the health of our lakes, and the health of our economy and communities. This book will forever change how you think about lakes and the Northwoods.

At a time when more and more people are searching out our waters for their livelihood, for recreation and relaxation, and for building cherished memories with friends and family, Ted Rulseh’s rich and readable book tells us not only how intimately connected we are to our waters but how the fate of water is our fate as well. In the end, Rulseh’s story is a hopeful invitation, providing those who love lakes and are in a position to protect them the understanding and tools they need to reverse these disturbing trends.”
“A clarion call and much needed warning of how we are environmentally damaging our lakes and rivers throughout the Great Lakes states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota. Exceptionally well written, organized and presented. . . . An unreservedly recommended addition to personal reading lists of environmental activists, lake and river enthusiasts, and a critically important and urgent contribution to community and academic library Environmental Studies collections and supplemental curriculum studies syllabus.”
