Klappentext zu „Salmon “
WINNER OF THE JOHN AVERY AWARD AT THE ANDRÉ SIMON AWARDSIf we can save the salmon, we can save the world
Over the centuries, salmon have been a vital resource, a dietary staple and an irresistible catch. But there is so much more to this extraordinary fish.
As international bestseller Mark Kurlansky reveals, salmon persist as a barometer for the health of our planet. Centuries of our greatest assaults on nature can be seen in their harrowing yet awe-inspiring life cycle.
Full of all Kurlansky's characteristic curiosity and insight, Salmon is a magisterial history of a wondrous creature.
'An epic, environmental tragedy' Spectator
'These creatures have nurtured our imagination as surely as our bodies. This book does them justice!' Bill McKibben

Pressezitat
'Mark Kurlansky's book is an epic, environmental tragedy, with the salmon at its centre as the abused hero... one of the great strengths of Kurlanksy's book is the way he links the fish's plight to so many major environmental concerns... Kurlanksy is at his best when illuminating the lives of people who have been disregarded in the name of progress.' Spectator
