King Of Fish: The Thousand-Year Run Of Salmon: Salmon - the reigning symbol of the Pacific Northwest's natural splendor – are perilously close to extinction across much of their ancestral range. In King of Fish, geologist David Montgomery recounts the evolution and near-extinction of the salmon as the too-oft-told tale of changing landscapes and shortsighted fishing practices. Montgomery examines the last thousand years – from the United Kingdom to New England and eventually to the Pacific Northwest – to trace the human impact on salmon populations. He reveals the implications both for salmon recovery efforts and for the more general problem of how mankind affects the natural world. Despite the possible bleak future of the salmon, King of Fish offers provocative recommendations for reinventing the ways in which we make environmental decisions about land, water, and fish.
