A great new hardbound book has just appeared, Life in the Beaver Island Archipelago. With 208 12 x 9 pages of lush photos and interesting facts, it should appeal to everyone who loves the Island.

Its mix of hundreds of photographs of Island scenes and stories combining amusing anecdotes with historic facts makes it something to turn to, time and again. When readers cannot be here in body, at least they can in spirit.

Blending the first decade of the 21st century into a single year, it depicts the shifting seasons, the sweep of color over the forests, the arrival of soft, blanketing snow and the freezing over of the lakes, and the blooming of a progression of flowers. It builds toward the burst of summer activity, the arrival of pleasure craft, private planes, and, most of all, people—what for Beaver Island constitutes the cycle of life.
