Overview

America has more than 130,000 lakes of significant size. Ninety percent of all Americans live within fifty miles of a lake, and our 1.8 billion trips to watery places make them our top vacation choice. Yet despite this striking popularity, more than 45 percent of surveyed lakes and 80 percent of urban lakes do not meet water quality standards. "For Love of Lakes "weaves a delightful tapestry of history, science, emotion, and poetry for all who love lakes or enjoy nature writing. "For Love of Lakes "is an affectionate account documenting our species long relationship with lakestheir glacial origins, Thoreau and his environmental message, and the major perceptual shifts and advances in our understanding of lake ecology. This is a necessary and thoughtful book that addresses the stewardship void while providing improved understanding of our most treasured natural feature."
