Between Lakes

"Delightful . . . a practical and attractive guide to the salamanders, frogs, toads, turtles, lizards, and snakes" of this vast National Recreation Area (Tennessee Libraries).

Fishing the Great Lakes is a sweeping history of the destruction of the once-abundant fisheries of the great "inland seas" that lie between the United States and Canada.

The most critical naval fighting during the War of 1812 took place, not on the high seas, but on the inland lakes of North America: the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain. Carrying between 12 and 22 cannon, the British and American sloops-of-war were ship-rigged, brig-rigged or schooner-rigged vessels.

This volume presents case studies on the impacts of changes and tectonic movements on the evolution of lake water levels, the interactions between anthropogenic activities and the physicochemical characteristics of lakes, and the limnological characteristics and their interactions with other components of the environment.
