About this Item
Ottawa. Environment Canada. Fisheries and Marine Service. 1974. First edition. Large Quarto (12 1/2 x 8). 79 pp. Stunning color plates showing salmon as a valuable natural resource, especially so for Canada's aboriginal peoples who depend on the annual return of spawning salmon for their existence. There are colored maps showing the routes salmon travel during their time at sea. Haig-Brown's compassionate and thoughtful text celebrates salmon and pleads for their continued return to their home rivers. ////// "Pacific Salmon - River-born fugitives, red muscled under sheathing silver - Alive with lights of ocean's changing colours, - The range of deeps and distances through wild salt years - Has gathered the sea's plenty into your perfection. - Fullness is the long return from dark depths / Rendering toll of itself to the searching nets - Surging on to strife on brilliant gravel shallows - that opened long ago behind the failing ice. - In violence over gravel, under the burn of fall, - Fullness spends itself, thrusting forth new life - To nurse in the stream's flow. The old life, - Used utterly, yields itself among the river rocks of home. - Roderick Haig-Brown." //////. The book is bound in coarse brown cloth with Bill Reid's Haida Salmon printed on a paper label on the front cover, brown titling label printed in gilt on the spine. A nice book. In fine condition.

Shipping Terms:
Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. My chosen shipping option is the U. S. Postal Service. USPS is the best in terms of service and cost efficiency ¿ even though recent overseas rates, effective January 2013, have skyrocketed. USPS requires mails sent overseas and Canada can ONLY be sent by AIRMAIL. Charged at actual cost. Other overseas shipping options are available, such as UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.; however, they are frightfully expensive.
