For Love of Lakes

by Darby Nelson

In the tradition of Aldo Leopold's A Sand County Almanac, For Love of Lakes focuses on the lakes, ponds, and waters outside your very home and the intricacies of these ecosystems. Nelson weaves an interesting and thought-provoking story based on his love of lakes and the outdoor world. The text blends his power of observation, personal scientific knowledge, and an appreication of important contributions to the field of limnology. His "story-teller" approach provokes readers to consider their particular "dream" lakes and what they might do to protect them for future generations.
