Reaching home

by Natalie Fobes

The subject is the salmon--its role in the lives and culture of peoples of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, as well as Japan and Russia. Fobes' photos of fish and people are extraordinary; the collection represents a decade of work by the award-winning photographer. Accompanying essays by Tom Jay and Brad Matsen are at once personal, lyrical, and informative--about the evolution and biology, and history and current status of Pacific salmon.
