Items related to Salmon Nation : People and Fish at the Edge
Salmon Nation takes you behind the headlines in the company of six knowledgeable guides to a deeper understanding of the most celebrated fish of western North America. Thoughtful essays by Native American writer Elizabeth Woody, fisheries biologist Jim Lichatowich, journalist Richard Manning, former commercial fisherman Freeman House, and writer Seth Zuckerman trace the relationship between people and salmon from the days of abundance that sustained the Northwest Coast cultures to the troubled world of salmon today, and suggest a future of rivers restored and fishing livelihoods revived- a future still within our reach. Geographer Dorie Brownell's full-color maps of the state of Pacific salmon today, published here for the first time, offer a powerful "big picture" perspective that lends a new urgency to efforts to heal the breach between between people and salmon.

The maps, the range of accessible and informed essays, make it invaluable." -- Gary Snyder, author of The Practice of the Wild, and Mountains and Rivers without End
"Wild salmon runs that once formed teeming braids of life in our rivers and streams are threatened with extinction. Salmon Nation vividly tells the rich history of these fish and offers a compelling vision of their place in our future." -- Paul Schell, Mayor of Seattle
