In Lakes, John Saylor explores a very common body of water that is of great ecological importance, revealing that there is much more beyond the surface. Lakes explores the physical phenomena that occur in lakes: what causes lakes to form as well what cause lakes to die. Readers will learn that even the most ordinary of lakes experience a scientific drama not unlike the emotional drama of their human counterparts. In spite of the calm pastoral nature that we see in the small duck pond down the street or the larger lake with the sailboat gliding across it in the distance, these everyday lakes experience an array of profound and wondrous processes, often hidden in plain sight.
