Steward's Fork -- $tAppendix: Biota Mentioned in the Text -- $tReferences and Further Reading -- $tIndex 330 $aA compelling story of place, Steward's Fork explores northwest California's magnificent Klamath Mountains-a region that boasts a remarkable biodiversity, a terrain so rugged that significant landscape features are still being discovered there, and a wealth of natural resources that have been used, and more recently abused, by humans for millennia. James K. Agee, a forest ecologist with more than fifty years experience in the Klamaths, provides a multidimensional perspective on this region and asks: how can we most effectively steward this spectacular landscape toward a sustainable future? In an engaging narrative laced with personal anecdotes, he introduces the dynamics of the Klamath's ecosystems, including its geology and diverse flora and fauna, and then discusses its native cultures and more recent inhabitants, laying out the effects of industries such as logging, mining, water development, and fishing. Assuming that people will continue to have a close tie to the Klamaths, Agee introduces the principles of restoration ecology to offer a vision of how we can responsibly meet the needs of both people and natural organisms, including plants, fish, and wildlife. This debate over the future of the Klamath's rich landscape widens into a provocative meditation on nature, culture, and our relationship with the earth itself. 606 $aNatural history$zKlamath Mountains (Calif. and Or.) 606 $aConservation of natural resources$zKlamath Mountains (Calif. and Or.) 606 $aSustainable development$zKlamath Mountains (Calif. and Or.) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNatural history 615 0$aConservation of natural resources 615 0$aSustainable development 676 $a508.794 700 $aAgee$b James K$0283642 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455175103321 996 $aSteward's Fork$92457233 997 $aUNINA
