Mountain in the Clouds

<p>It is now more than ten years since Bruce Brown began the Olympic Peninsula wanderings that led him to write this powerful account of how greed indifference and environmental mismanagement have threatened the survival of the wild Pacific salmon and as a result the region’s ecology and its people. Acclaimed by critics who likened it to <i>Coming Into the Country</i> by John McPhee and Rachel Carson’s <i>Silent Spring</i> <i>Mountain in the Clouds</i> has become a classic of natural history. As the struggle to protect Northwest salmon runs and the urgency of the fight against environmental deterioration escalates <i>Mountain in the Clouds</i> remains an important and illuminating story as timely now as when it was first written.</p>
