Lädt ... Pandora's Locks: The Opening of the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seawayvon Jeff Alexander
![]() Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. ![]() ![]() This is a great book on the history and problems of invasive species entering the Great Lakes. It starts with the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Erie Canal and continues all the way to modern-day issues.

Linking ports on lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario to shipping hubs on the world''s seven seas increased global trade in the Great Lakes region.
