A fantastic book! Timothy Egan describes his journeys in the Pacific Northwest through visits to salmon fisheries, redwood forests and the manicured English gardens of Vancouver. Here is a blend of history, anthropology and politics.

The author's mood swings rather wide depending on the subject. He can be very melodic and dreamy like [a:Frances Mayes 4826 Frances Mayes https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1267654734p2/4826.jpg] or read like the hell and brimstone of [a:Dian Fossey 136081 Dian Fossey https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] when describing the atrocities done to other humans, nature, and animals.He does alot of bouncing about between history and “now”, people, places, his memories and facts; the only commonality is each chapter seems to focus on 1 or more subjects. It can get a bit frustrating with the jumping about but the message comes across.
