Now it is revered as a national treasure, and Americans have launched the largest environmental project in history to try to save it.

Michael Grunwald, a prize-winning national reporter for The Washington Post, takes readers on a riveting journey from the Ice Ages to the present, illuminating the natural, social and political history of one of America's most beguiling but least understood patches of land. |
