Salmon in the Trees: Life in Alaska's Tongass Rain Forest
Salmon in the Trees is a visually stunning book that gives shape -- and voice -- to one of North America's richest natural treasures. Gulick's photographs, combined with engaging and informative essays by some of the people who know the Tongass best, offer a multi-faceted introduction to the mind-boggling vitality of this remote and precious region. At its core, this book is an invitation to one of the world's most intact and vibrant wildernesses, and an exhortation to see this extraordinary, publicly owned resource as a model for what it is: a rare and not to be repeated opportunity to get it right. ---- John Vaillant, author of The Golden Spruce: A True Story of Myth, Madness, and GreedA great achievement in environmental photography and ecology, this book dramatically illustrates that not only have we not seen the forest for the trees, we also haven't understood the salmon, bears, and other interconnected parts of the natural world that we depend on. ----- Gary Braasch, author of Secrets of the Old Growth Forest and Earth Under Fire: How Global Warming is Changing the WorldSalmon in the Trees is an engaging and honest chronicle of one of our most important, resourcefully rich, and internationally significant national forests. Amy Gulick captures the stunning breadth of the land, while still enabling viewers to interact with the environment on an intimate level. --Art Wolfe, photographer
