For Love Of Lakes

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 lakes—their 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.

This is an Anthology book compiled by Peerzada Salim Rafiq Qurashi from Kashmir, a place popularly known as Paradise on Earth, He chose this title for his book because he believes that "there are words in the heart of every person which are unuttered or unspoken or unheard. He also says that some people are shy due to which they are unable to speak up or share their thoughts, their talent with others. So, he wanted to dig their talent out by providing them with the opportunity to jot down those words, thoughts in this book to let people explore" This book contains the write-up of almost 30 writers who pen down their inner potential, thoughts, emotions in the form of Short Stories, Poetry, Articles, and Research Papers. Hope this contribution and drudgery of the Compiler and all the writers get a great success. Peerzada Salim Rafiq Qurashi
