Wild Shore: Exploring Lake Superior by Kayak

3 reviews
Greg Breining

University of Minnesota Press, 2002

Great trip around Lake Superior!
I really enjoyed Greg Breining's new book "Wild Shore--Exploring Lake Superior by Kayak." He loves history and nature and it shows. He starts north of Sault Sainte Marie, Canada and goes west. He goes for little pieces at a time, usually with a friend or his teen-age daughter. He talks to the local people. He explores what's near the shore (such as the Pukaskwa pits) and what is unique about ...

A Hard-Water World: Ice Fishing and Why We Do It
Greg Breining

Minnesota Historical Society Press, 2008

To the uninitiated, ice fishing seems improbable, wacky, and dangerous. But every winter, more than 2 million hardy northerners go to their place on the lake: literally on the lake. Striking storytelling photographs by Layne Kennedy and engaging essays by outdoor writer and fisherman Greg Breining capture the quirky world of ice fishing-its natural beauty and solitary subzero vigils, along with its oddball practices and practitioners. ...

Yellowstone: America's Nemesis?
Although I've long been interested in volcanoes, it took me awhile to fully accept the reality of supervolcanoes. I had orginally thought that the most dangerous category of volcano was the stratovolcano which arises along coastlines in subductions zones, as a picturesque conical mountain (for instance Mt. Fuji, Mt. St. Helens before it erupted). How could a relatively flat space on the earth, ...

Good at what it sets out to do
I got this book because it was one of the few available for the MN area. I was going to the Twin Cities, and I found the section on that area decidedly lacking in information. It had far less information than a standard AAA guidebook. The tradeoff is the rich history and the beautiful photography, which are what this book is touted for. I usually prefer more practical information such as ...
