Michigan: Portrait of a State (Portrait Series)

Michigan is a state filled with opportunities -- from industrial to agricultural, from recreational to cultural. From Ann Arbor's vibrant research university to the thirty-two hundred miles of shimmering Great Lakes shoreline, from vast, vibrant forests of the Upper Peninsula and its pristine lakes and woods to the dramatic skyline of Detroit, rising above the Detroit River, Michigan provides a constant visual feast for both residents and visitors alike. In more than one hundred gorgeous color photographs, every corner of the state is captured: the ever-changing Sleeping Bear Dunes and the rugged majesty of Pictured Rocks as well as many popular and diverse ethnic festivals, including the world-famous Tulip Festival in Holland. Here are the lumber and auto industries, the vineyards and farmlands, the bluffs and springs, and the remarkable waterways that make Michigan so magnificently distinct.
