The Death and Life of the Great Lakes
The Great Lakes—Erie, Huron, Michigan, Ontario, and Superior—hold 20 percent of the world’s supply of surface fresh water and provide sustenance, work, and recreation for tens of millions of Americans. But they are under threat as never before, and their problems are spreading across the continent. The Death and Life of the Great Lakes is prize-winning reporter Dan Egan’s compulsively readable portrait of an ecological catastrophe happening right before our eyes, blending the epic story of the lakes with an examination of the perils they face and the ways we can restore and preserve them for generations to come.

Thirty Years in a White Haze
"Sheltered in a snow cave on Mount Elbrus in 1990, I stared into the mouth of a storm on the tallest peak on the European continent, a merciless mountain that claims more lives per year than Everest. When I emerged from the white haze of that storm alive, after so many had perished, I had no idea how this event would impact the next 30 years of my life. "My brother John and I-known as the Egan Brothers-could be seen on the Discovery Channel, ESPN, and were featured in twelve Warren Miller Ski Films during the 1980s and 1990s. We found our place in history as storytellers and East Coast renegades of skiing, and were inducted into the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame in 2017. "Thirty Years in a White Haze is a tale of trials, success, and loss told through worldwide adventure and the evolution of extreme skiing as thirty years of haze dissipates to clarity." -Dan Egan

But instead of decaying, Cass's novo-vacuum is wildly successful and begins expanding, slowly but inexorably taking over the universe ...
