Salmon without rivers

the long version

"In Salmon Without Rivers, fisheries biologist Jim Lichatowich offers an eye-opening look at the roots and evolution of the salmon crisis in the Pacific Northwest. He exposes the myths that have guided recent human-salmon interactions and clearly explains the difficult choices facing the citizens of the region. Through the course of the book, he provides readers with unique insights into one of the most tragic chapters in our nation's environmental history."--BOOK JACKET. "Throughout, Lichatowich argues that the dominant worldview of our society - a worldview that denies connections between humans and the natural world - has created the conflict and controversy that characterize the recent history of salmon. The author argues that unless this worldview is challenged and changed, there is little hope for recovery."--BOOK JACKET.
