'The criterion of true beauty', wrote Fulke Greville, 1st Baron of
Burke, 'is that it increases on examination; if false, that it
lessens. There is therefore something in true beauty that
corresponds with right reason, and it is not the mere creation of
fantasy.' The authors of this compact volume have increased the
beauty of an area that is commonly and rightly ac knowledged to be
one of the loveliest parts of the Great Lakes. They have done this
by integrating the historical, industrial, and cultural influences
on 'Lake Manitoulin' in sixteen manuscripts. It is enigmatic that
Lake Huron, the second of the Great Lakes to be discovered by
European explorers, has been the last to be adequately described
Iimnologicaliy. As recently as 1966, for example, Alfred M. Beeton
wrote in Limnology in North America: ' ... even a list of the more
common species comprising the plankton of Lake Huron could be an
original contribution to scientific literature.' Comparable
statements could have been made for sediments, benthos, and water
chemistry. This volume reflects a change of course and Georgian Bay
and the North Channel of Lake Huron are now on the scientific map.
Science is 'right reason'. Its application to Georgian Bay and the
North Channel is a welcome and timely addition for the renewal of
public, political, and scientific interest in the conservation of
the Great Lakes."
