ISBN: 9781594850912.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recipient of an Independent Publisher Book Award and two Nautilus Book Awards, Salmon in the Trees tells the story of the Tongass, a 17 million-acre temperate rain forest fringing the coastal panhandle of Alaska and covering thousands of islands in the Alexander Archipelago. With some of the worlds highest densities of grizzly bears, black bears, and bald eagles, the Tongass National Forest is a place that time hasnt quite caught up to yet. Here, millions of wild salmon are the crucial link between the forest and the sea, and shape both animal and human lives. But can the great forests biological treasures withstand the modern pressures of a globalized world? For two years, acclaimed nature photographer Amy Gulick paddled and trekked among the bears, misty islands, and salmon streams to photograph the intricate connections within the Tongass. Together with essays from renowned conservationists, scientists, and writers Richard Nelson, Brad Matsen, Dr. Carl Safina, Ray Troll, Rosita Worl, Richard Carstensen, John Schoen, Douglas Chadwick, and John Straley, Gulicks images tell a hopeful story of this magnificent and rare world treasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BRAIDED RIVER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45119010439221,"sku":"ByrdShop_1594850917","price":73.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781594850912_b000c16c-b464-44d2-8be8-ad88655de93b.jpg?v=1781399441","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/salmon-in-the-trees-life-in-alaskas-tongass-rain-forest-9781594850912","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
