Rivers of LifeSouthwest Alaska, The Last Great Salmon Fishery. . - Books: capturing salmon - book review
E: The Environmental Magazine, Jan-Feb, 2002
Alaska, one of America's last great areas of wilderness, is also a last refuge for wild salmon. In the vividly written Rivers of Life--Southwest Alaska, The Last Great Salmon Fishery (Aperture, $50), internationally renowned writer and photographer Robert Glenn Ketchum catches the spirit of the land and rivers of Alaska's frontier. Fellow conservationist and wildlife biologist Bruce Hampton's moving essay describes the surreal beauty of Alaska while explaining the politics and peril of the salmon industry. With stirring words and stunning images that delight the eye, this book will educate and inspire.
