The poems serve as an interesting medium for young readers to discover unique features of the lake, its surrounding areas and added attractions.In the early pages of the book readers are reminded that these beautiful, long, narrow lakes (that's why they're called "finger" lakes) are "?a glacial gift of the Ice Age."

The Finger Lakes Region produces 90% of wine in New York State, plus other products.Grapes love the lakes!

This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Further Limnological Observations on the Finger Lakes of New York The Bureau of Fisheries authorized a second expedition to the New York lakes in July and August of 1918, in order to apply these newer methods to them. The following paper reports the results of the observations. The authors are indebted to Hobart College, Geneva, for the free use of its labora tories during their stay on the lakes, and to Prof. E. H. Eaton, of the same college, for unwearied assistance in their work. Much of the success which was reached was due to this aid. All recorded series of temperatures between 191 1 and 1918 were taken by Prof Eaton, as also were those taken after August 1, 1918. This report comes from both of its authors, as was the case with their former paper on the same subject. Mr. Juday, however, has prepared the part which deals with the plankton and Mr. Birge that-_which. Relates to temperatures and transmission of radiation.
