As described by Bill and John McMillan  father and son  rivers are one of those places were revelations can occur and lives can be changed. Though initially drawn to rivers and salmon through angling  the family gradually transitioned to a deeper learning about the lives of rivers through snorkeling. Following in the footsteps of renowned Canadian author and conservationist Roderick Haig-Brown  the McMillans river calendar is founded in a series of monthly essays  each of which are further described through photographs of rivers  animals  birds  and insects  including several stunning underwater images of the salmons life as never seen before. The soulful writings and dramatic photography were shaped by thousands of hours angling  observing and snorkeling to document the diversity and patterns of river life above and below water. From winter steelhead to mayfly to water ouzel  their perspective is that rivers are only ever-wakeful because of the wild creatures within. As wild fish continue to diminish however  the lives of rivers remain unclear and consequently  so to does the future of the river calendar of the Pacific Northwest. This book is the McMillans wake-up call to nurture at all costs the natural resilience of wild-fish populations and breadth of life they support so that rivers remain places of revelation for future anglers and scientists  as they have for the McMillan family.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665851998261,"sku":"ByrdShop_1571884807","price":56.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781571884800.jpg?v=1782410402","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/may-the-rivers-never-sleep-9781571884800","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
