520 1 $a"Lake Michigan and the other four Great Lakes of North America collectively constitute the largest body of fresh water in the world, measured by surface area. The eminent limnologist Clifford H. Mortimer has spent much of his life studying these lakes, the dynamics of their waters, and the impact of humans upon them. Lake Michigan in Motion, offering an introduction to the science, public policy, and history of Lake Michigan and the Great Lakes system, is certain to become a classic reference book." "Mortimer chronicles three centuries of inquiry into Lake Michigan from the Native Americans, who called it Michigani (Great Waters), to the French explorers, whose first recorded observations date from the 1600s, to present-day scientists, who use satellite views of the Great Lakes from outer space." "Lake Michigan in Motion is a source of information for amateur naturalists, students, teachers, public officials, a wide variety of scientists and natural resource managers, residents of Lake Michigan's shores, and others who use the lake for their livelihood and recreation."--BOOK JACKET.
