Michigan is truly a "Great Lake State": the two peninsulas, many
islands, and 3,100 miles of shoreline on four of the Great Lakes
give the state a unique location and a diverse physical
environment. The natural landscape is largely the result of erosion
and deposition of surface materials during the Great Ice Age.
Glacial ridges alternate with till plains and lake bottoms to give
Michigan a varied topography and great contrasts in soil fertility.
The book, through the use of text, photographs, and maps (drawn
especially for this volume by Sherman Hollander), stresses the
relationships between this varied natural resource base and the
economic, social, and political geography of Michigan. Emphasis is
placed on the demographic character, the historical background, and
the natural and human resources that have led to Michigan becoming
one of the principal manufacturing states in the United States. The
book also looks at agriculture and recreation and tourism, which,
along with manufacturing, are the major bases of the state's
economic development. The regional coverage focuses on the urban
dominance of Detroit. This comprehensive overview of Michigan
geography closes with an analysis of some of the major quality of
life issues in the state and a short glimpse into the future.
