Download or read book Winter Brothers written by Ivan Doig and published by HMH. This book was released on 1982-10-20 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A blend of modern-day travel memoir and nineteenth-century history, “infused with the fresh air and spirit of the Northwest” (The New York Times Book Review). The author of the acclaimed This House of Sky and Mountain Time provides a magnificent evocation of the Pacific Northwest through his exploration of the unpublished diaries of James Gilchrist Swan, an early settler of the region who was drawn there from Boston in the 1850s. Winter Brothers fuses excerpts from these diaries with author Ivan Doig’s own journal entries, as he travels in Swan’s footsteps one winter along the once-wild coastline of Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. What emerges is a remarkable interaction of two minds, a dialogue across time that links the present with the reality of the American frontier. “Absorbing . . . A double portrait of striking clarity, yet with wonderfully subtle hues.” —San Francisco Chronicle
Download or read book Bashing The Great Green Invaders written by David H Milne and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the invasion of Washington's marine waters by introduced giant Atlantic saltmarsh grasses and the decades-long successful State effort to eradicate them. The author, a retired faculty member from The Evergreen State College, recounts his participation with his students in this contest, focusing on the East Coast Spartina alterniflora grass invading Willapa Bay The grass grew on vast, dangerous, soft intertidal mudflats. Fighting it required special machinery, "mudluk" footwear, and strange tools. And involved risk. With his students, friends, agency and coastal colleagues and others, the author tackled the invaders with sustained ingenuity and brute force from 1993 through 2007. His account, told here, is perhaps the most seamless blend of marine ecology, science, adventure, humor, Bayshore history and resoundingly successful earth stewardship that a reader is ever likely to encounter. No other popular or "official" account of this huge coastal episode has ever been written. The grass came on with the force of an ecological hurricane, threatening to destroy the Bay's fishing and shellfish culture livelihoods, as well as critical migratory waterfowl and shorebird overwintering habitats. Coastal residents were swept up in it; they know it well from personal experience. Elsewhere around our state, this episode is virtually unknown. "Bashing The Great Green Invaders" reconnects our inland residents with a giant environmental success story that everyone concerned with sustaining natural ecosystems - and rural cultures -- should know about.

This book was released on 1996-07-31 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of salmon to the Pacific Northwest--economic, recreational, symbolic--is enormous. Generations ago, salmon were abundant from central California through Idaho, Oregon, and Washington to British Columbia and Alaska. Now they have disappeared from about 40 percent of their historical range. The decline in salmon numbers has been lamented for at least 100 years, but the issue has become more widespread and acute recently. The Endangered Species Act has been invoked, federal laws have been passed, and lawsuits have been filed. More than $1 billion has been spent to improve salmon runs--and still the populations decline. In this new volume a committee with diverse expertise explores the complications and conflicts surrounding the salmon problem--starting with available data on the status of salmon populations and an illustrative case study from Washington state's Willapa Bay. The book offers specific recommendations for salmon rehabilitation that take into account the key role played by genetic variability in salmon survival and the urgent need for habitat protection and management of fishing. The committee presents a comprehensive discussion of the salmon problem, with a wealth of informative graphs and charts and the right amount of historical perspective to clarify today's issues, including Salmon biology and geography--their life's journey from fresh waters to the sea and back again to spawn, and their interaction with ecosystems along the way. The impacts of human activities--grazing, damming, timber, agriculture, and population and economic growth. Included is a case study of Washington state's Elwha River dam removal project. Values, attitudes, and the conflicting desires for short-term economic gain and long-term environmental health. The committee traces the roots of the salmon problem to the extractive philosophy characterizing management of land and water in the West. The impact of hatcheries, which were introduced to build fish stocks but which have actually harmed the genetic variability that wild stocks need to survive. This book offers something for everyone with an interest in the salmon issue--policymakers and regulators in the United States and Canada; environmental scientists; environmental advocates; natural resource managers; commercial, tribal, and recreational fishers; and concerned residents of the Pacific Northwest.

Download or read book Sustainable Community Development written by Marie Hoff and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1998-03-04 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1990s have been marked by a wide-spread awareness of the convergence of environmental, economic and social problems and issues. Many local workers have begun to recognize that severe setbacks or even collapse of their local economy is strongly related to environmental problems: either to the depletion of local resources (such as timber, fish, or minerals) or to severe pollution and degradation of the local ecosystem. This in-depth collection of case studies of urban and rural communities committed to a process of sustainable development provides a more detailed description of this dynamic process than was previously available. This provocative book demonstrates the commonalities in approach across a wide variety of environmental and cultural settings, examining an emerging consciousness from cultural, economic, social and environmental viewpoints.
