Download or read book The Great Lakes Economy written by Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and published by Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. This book was released on 1991 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1985, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and the Great Lakes Commission conceived and produced a statistical compendium of the Great Lakes region entitled "The Great Lakes Economy: A Resource and Industry Profile of the Great Lakes States". The present document represents a culmination of several years' research which updates and eclipses its predecessor in several important ways. The volume provides analysts of the region the opportunity to interpret the facts surrounding the region's endowments, performance, and changes. In doing so, several authors have chosen to look beyond the states themselves to the closely-linked Canadian portion of the Great Lakes region. Resource and industry trends and performance are still addressed in full but the linkages among the region's resources, people, and industries are also brought to the fore.
Download or read book The Great Lakes Water Wars written by Peter Annin and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2009-08-25 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Lakes are the largest collection of fresh surface water on earth, and more than 40 million Americans and Canadians live in their basin. Will we divert water from the Great Lakes, causing them to end up like Central Asia's Aral Sea, which has lost 90 percent of its surface area and 75 percent of its volume since 1960? Or will we come to see that unregulated water withdrawals are ultimately catastrophic? Peter Annin writes a fast-paced account of the people and stories behind these upcoming battles. Destined to be the definitive story for the general public as well as policymakers, The Great Lakes Water Wars is a balanced, comprehensive look behind the scenes at the conflicts and compromises that are the past-and future-of this unique resource.

This book was released on 1921 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this analysis of the economic aspects of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Ship Canal, the authors have endeavored to present conservatively the more important local and national advantages to be gained from opening the Great Lakes to ocean traffic. Prior to making this investigation, they, like many others, had formed an immature judgement that ocean vessels on this route could not compete with existing routes serving the Northwest. A study of the factors affecting the costs and advantages of the various available routes and methods of transportation has served to dispel the impressions derived largely from reports submitted many years ago when the conditions and costs of transportation, as well as the needs of the vast territory served by the Great Lakes, were very different from what they are at the present time" -- from foreword.
