"On the Brink" wins historical
award
|
The
Historical Society of Michigan handed out its annual
Awards of Merit at the 130th State History Conference
held in St. Joseph in mid-October. In the publications
category, a book by MEC staffer Dave Dempsey, On
the Brink: The Great Lakes in the 21st Century,
captured an award of merit.
The Society said the book "is a work that thoughtfully
discusses the Great Lakes' unique and natural features
and weaves in 150 years of human actions, short-sighted
human follies and calamities…[Dempsey] concludes
that despite recent improvements, the Great Lakes are
still 'on the brink' and citizens must continue to challenge
government leaders to reform and protect our treasured
lakes."
The annual State History Awards-Awards of Merit are
prized statewide and are the highest recognition presented
by the state's official historical society and oldest
cultural organization.
