The Pond LoversAuthor(s): Gene Logsdon\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: University of Georgia Press, United States\nImprint: University of Georgia Press\nISBN-13: 9780820329543, 978-0820329543\nSynopsis\nTo his legions of readers, Gene Logsdon is best known as the Contrary Farmer. His writings, which blend commonsense advice, curmudgeonly wit, and respect for the earth, are manna to anyone who wants to live, as Logsdon puts it, \""at nature's pace.\""\n\nThe Pond Lovers is Logsdon's ode to the watery microcosms all around us, from the half-acre farm pond to the suburban garden pool. Readers looking for hands-on experience will find plenty of pond-keeping dos and don'ts. Logsdon's higher purpose, however, is to proclaim the natural, spiritual, and recreational benefits of ponds.\n\nFed by spring or filled by rainfall, the ponds closest to Logsdon's heart need minimal human interference in the way of machinery or chemicals. Those we read about in The Pond Lovers mostly belong to Logsdon's .
