Hi all,

I want to recommend an excellent book titled Salmon Without Rivers: A history of the Pacific Salmon Crisis, by Jim Lichatowich. (1999 Island Press Publishing).
Anyone who is curious about the true causes of salmon declines and wants to gain an understanding of the root causes of the salmon crisis should read this book. It is an excellent historical account of how species that have survived for millions of years may be on the verge of extinction after only some 150 years of "Euro-American" presence in the Northwest.
Would enjoy discussing it with anyone, whether they have read it or not.

in fish and forests,
William
