Salmon e-bog

WINNER OF THE JOHN AVERY AWARD AT THE ANDR SIMON AWARDS If we can save the salmon, we can save the world Over the centuries, salmon have been a vital resource, a dietary staple and an irresistible catch. But there is so much more to this extraordinary fish. As international bestseller Mark Kurlansky reveals, salmon persist as a barometer for the health of our planet. Centuries of our greatest assaults on nature can be seen in their harrowing yet awe-inspiring life cycle. Full of all Kurlansky's characteristic curiosity and insight, Salmon is a magisterial history of a wondrous creature. ';An epic, environmental tragedy' Spectator ';These creatures have nurtured our imagination as surely as our bodies. This book does them justice!' Bill McKibben
