Journalist and naturalist Bruce Brown recounts his journeys along the coast and rivers of the Northwest in search of the fast-disappearing salmon, whose instinctive need to return to the place of their birth to spawn makes them unique among the creatures of the earth. Not only a chronicle of the history of salmon, but also a record of the environmental mismanagement that now threatens the salmon's natural habitat. Most of all, however, Mountain in the Clouds is a story of triumph about a species whose will to survive is a special kind of courage; 8vo; [xiii] 14-239 [240] pages.
