For Father Ken Harder and my doctoral advisors, Greg L. Mullins and Lucian W. Zelazny. “The rare, strange thing is to hit the mark; the gross, obvious thing is to miss it. We feel it is epical when man with one wild arrow strikes a distant bird. Is it not also epical when man with one wild engine strikes a distant station? Chaos is dull; because in chaos the train might indeed go anywhere, to Baker Street or to Bagdad. But man is a magician, and his whole magic is in this, that he does say Victoria, and lo! It is Victoria. No, take your books of mere poetry and prose; let me read a time table, with tears of pride. Take your Byron, who commemorates the defeats of man; give me Bradshaw, who commemorates his victories. Give me Bradshaw, I say!” -Gabriel Syme in The Man Who Was Thursday, by G.K. Chesterton (1908)

Preface

Phosphorus (P) input to surface waters is considered the most limiting nutrient with regard to eutrophication.
