"We say we love our lakes yet we not only allow them but participate in their deterioration. To love something is to protect it, to keep it from harm. What explains this paradoxical relationship between humans and lakes? Darby's talk based on his book, 'For Love of Lakes', explores this puzzle. Using PowerPoint, he will blend together basic elements if lake ecology and the human behaviors that explain our odd relationship with the lakes we love."
