"This is a book written with love, for scientists and by scientists. A compendium of extraordinary knowledge, produced over more than thirty years of investigation, it continues a long tradition of protecting the Sierra Nevada. John Muir did it with words and persuasion; the authors of the present volume do so with painstakingly collected scientific information."--Jill Baron, editor of Rocky Mountain Futures: An Ecological Perspective "This study, covering several decades and conducted by researchers with long experience in the Sierras, is a lesson in thorough scholarship.

A compendium of extraordinary knowledge, produced over more than thirty years of investigation, it continues a long tradition of protecting the Sierra Nevada. John Muir did it with words and persuasion; the authors of the present volume do so with painstakingly collected scientific information."--Jill Baron, editor of Rocky Mountain Futures: An Ecological Perspective "This study, covering several decades and conducted by researchers with long experience in the Sierras, is a lesson in thorough scholarship. Investigating some of North America's most vulnerable lakes, it belongs on the very small bookshelf of limnological classics."--David W. Schindler, Killam Memorial Chair and Professor of Ecology in the Department of Biological Sciences, University of Alberta "This unique and comprehensive volume lays the scientific foundation for understanding and predicting how mountain lake ecosystems have responded--and will respond--to climate change. The first of its sort, this book will be an excellent reference for ecologists and natural resource managers."--Rolf Vinebrooke, Professor of Biology at the University of Alberta "This is the first comprehensive book that tackles, in a definitive manner, what we know about the Sierra Nevada's lakes and watersheds. It is well conceived and timely, and will be a must-have reference book."--Sudeep Chandra, Associate Professor of Biology at the University of Nevada "Whether the reader's interest is in nutrients, or acidification, or snow hydrology, or climate change, this book provides a thorough summary of what the accumulated research demonstrates for Sierra lakes."--John Stoddard, Research Life Scientist, Office of Research and Development, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
