The salmon's annual return is a place-defining event in the Pacific Northwest, with immense ecological, economic, and social significance. However, despite massive spending, efforts to significantly alter the endangered status of salmon have failed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eSalmon, People, and Place, \u003c\/i\u003e acclaimed fisheries biologist Jim Lichatowich eloquently exposes the misconceptions underlying salmon management and recovery programs that have fueled the catastrophic decline in Northwest salmon populations for more than a century. These programs will continue to fail, he suggests, so long as they regard salmon as products and ignore their essential relationship with their habitat. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut Lichatowich offers hope. In \u003ci\u003eSalmon, People, and Place \u003c\/i\u003ehe presents a concrete plan for salmon recovery, one based on the myriad lessons learned from past mistakes. What is needed to successfully restore salmon, Lichatowich states, is an acute commitment to healing the relationships among salmon, people, and place. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA significant contribution to the literature on Pacific salmon, \u003ci\u003eSalmon, People, and Place: A Biologist's Search for Salmon Recovery\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential read for anyone concerned about the fate of this Pacific Northwest icon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Lichatowich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0870717243\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780870717246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oregon State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.99h x 6.11w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e IndieFab awards - Bronze Medal Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/30\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2014","brand":"Jim Lichatowich","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947423236351,"sku":"9780870717246","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_085dd961-19cf-470a-8b92-3086df207930.jpg?v=1681518636","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/salmon-people-and-place-jim-lichatowich-9780870717246","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
