In the stories of the river guides and rangers, biologists and ranchers, American Indians and dam workers he meets along the way, the rich and complicated life of the river emerges in a striking, often painfully clear panorama. Through his journey, the ecology, history, and politics of Pacific salmon unfold in fascinating detail, and with this firsthand knowledge and experience the reader gains a new and personal sense of the nature that unites and divides us.Outdoor lives.KayakingNorthwest, PacificNatureEffect of human beings onNorthwest, PacificNorthwest, PacificDescription and travelKayakingNatureEffect of human beings on797.122/4Barenti Mike1543011MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778231503321Kayaking alone3796260UNINA
