In this Very Short Introduction, Warwick Vincent outlines the essential features of lake environments and their biology, offering an up-to-date view of lake ecosystems. Vincent traces the origins of lake science (limnology) from the seminal work of Francois Forel on Lake Geneva at the edge of the Swiss Alps, to modern approaches such as environmental sensors, satellite observations, stable isotope analysis, and DNA-based technologies which are used to probe the microbial life support systems that lead from sunlight to fish.

Aber wir denken selten darüber nach, wie umfangreich sie Einfluss auf unser Leben nehmen. Zum Beispiel durch die Mercator-Projektion aus dem 16. Jahrhundert, die bis heute die Dominanz des Westens unterstreicht, indem sie die Länder des Nordens größer erscheinen lässt. Oder durch Gerrymandering, die Grenzziehung von Bezirken, die den Ausgang von Wahlen beeinflusst.

At dusk on 24 September 1975, Doug Scott and Dougal Haston became the first Britons to reach the summit of Everest as lead climbers on Chris Bonington's epic expedition to the mountain's immense south-west face. As darkness fell, Scott and Haston scraped a small cave in the snow 100 metres below the summit and survived the highest bivouac ever - without bottled oxygen, sleeping bags and, as it turned out, frostbite.
