520    "With masterful storytelling, Bergland and Hayes 
       demonstrate how Lapham blended his ravenous curiosity with
       an equable temperament and a passion for detail to create 
       a legacy that is still relevant today.-John Gurda In this 
       long overdue tribute to Wisconsin's first scientist, 
       authors Martha Bergland and Paul G. Hayes explore the 
       remarkable life and achievements of Increase Lapham (1811-
       1875). Lapham's ability to observe, understand, and 
       meticulously catalog the natural world marked all of his 
       work, from his days as a teenage surveyor on the Erie 
       Canal to his last great contribution as state geologist. 
       Self-taught, Lapham mastered botany, geology, archaeology,
       limnology, mineralogy, engineering, meteorology, and 
       cartography. A prolific writer, his 1844 guide to the 
       territory was the first book published in Wisconsin. Asked
       late in life which field of science was his specialty, he 
       replied simply, "I am studying Wisconsin." Lapham 
       identified and preserved thousands of botanical specimens.
       He surveyed and mapped Wisconsin's effigy mounds. He was a
       force behind the creation of the National Weather Service,
       lobbying for a storm warning system to protect Great Lakes
       sailors. Told in compelling detail through Lapham's 
       letters, journals, books, and articles, Studying Wisconsin
       chronicles the life and times of Wisconsin's pioneer 
       citizen-scientist"--|cProvided by publisher.
