The Superior Peninsula - Seasons in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is an exploration and appreciation of the forests, waters, history and people of a remote and little-known region. Find frozen waterfalls and follow old woods roads, visit the Pictured Ro cks National Lakeshore and the Porcupoine Mountains Wilderness State Park. Explore turn-of-the-century copper mining ghost towns, search for spring wildflowers and wild berries, follow the long ships as they take iron ore down Lake Superior, glide in a ca noe through a blaze of autumn color. Thirty-two chapters of adventures and observations - a window on a land which is still the way much of America used to be.

Emerick is the author of numerous professional textbooks and journal articles in what he calls "his other life", professor of speech pathology at Northern Michigan University and N orthern Arizona University. Emerick's ties to this special part of America began when his great-great grandfather came to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan from Cornwall England in the mid-1800s to mine copper.
