Book Review

Lake Michigan in Motion: Response of an Inland Sea to Weather, Earth-spin, and Human Activities. By Clifford Mortimer. Madison: University of Wisconsin Press, 2004. xix + 310 pp. Illustrations, maps, tables, bibliography, index. $45.00.

In Lake Michigan in Motion, distinguished limnologist Clifford Mortimer draws upon more than forty years of personal experimentation and study focused upon the workings of Lake Michigan. He is thus superbly qualified to recount the history of inquiry into the dynamics of the huge volume of water that fills Lake Michigan, the only one of the Great Lakes entirely within the borders of the United States. The book is primarily concerned with the action of waves in Lake Michigan and what determines these movements, but Mortimer also devotes chapters to related topics such as sediment movement, water levels, and temperature variation.
