"For Love of Lakes" - March 22 Duluth Audubon Society Ellen Kramer of the Lake Superior Maritime Museum Association is scheduling an Evening Entertainment Series for their organization that is open to the public at no charge. The program features Daren Nelson's recently published book, For Love of Lakes. Tom Meersman, in a review of For Love of Lakes in the Sunday, December 25th edition of the Star Tribune wrote, “‘For Love of Lakes’ takes on a hefty challenge: how to explain the paradox of why people love lakes, but continue to do things that ruin them. . . ‘For Love of Lakes’ is an ode to the beauty of lakes and the high stakes of what we have to lose; it's also an eyes-wide-open cautionary tale of how things are changing for the worse, and what has already been lost.” Please check Daren Nelson's website, www.darbynelson.com, for more information about me, the book, and readers independent of book reviewers. The W.J. McCabe Chapter of the Izaak Walton League is a grassroots environmental organization that has worked for decades to protect the natural resources of Duluth and greater Minnesota. We take a common-sense approach towards protecting our country's natural heritage and work to improve outdoor recreation opportunities for all.  |
