Review:
Paradise North: Seasons in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is a guide to the numerous seasons of Northern Michigan, where its position gives it very cold winters, but beautiful seasons elsewhere. Season by season, Lon L. Emerick gives readers a unique exploration of the nature of the region...With educational text, Paradise North is a top pick for those who enjoy the beautiful environment the north can provide. --Midwest Book Review
In his latest book, Lon Emerick...has written the Walden for Upper Michigan. While the book explores the magic of the U.P. through its diverse and beautiful seasons as well as the best activities and places to celebrate them, it also reflects environmental and nature preservation needs. As I read, I left my armchair to venture with Emerick into the woods, or walk down a country road or have pie at the Berry Patch Cafe in Paradise (Michigan)...the reading experience was enough to make me feel and see the shadows of the trees across the snow, to smell the crunching autumn leaves, to marvel over the million intricate details of nature as it renews itself each season. Emerick is a worthy travel companion through nature. --Marquette Monthly
This latest from Lon Emerick celebrates the wild beauty of our area via its seasons, with graceful prose and stunning photographs by Emerick and local artist Mark Mitchell. --Snowbound Books
