Clarke, Brian: The Stream; 1585675288 / 9781585675289, New Book
2004 Overlook Press; 1st Ed, 1st Printing, Signed by the Author
Near Fine 8vo Hardcover, in Near Fine DJ
(Synopsis) Apart from a few protesters, the announcement of an industrial pak in a depressed rural area is widely welcomed. It promises new jobs and new hope for those who live there. A few miles away, in a small valley with a stream running through it, ownership of a farm passes from father to son. Over time, these two events take their toll. The pressures are felt most powerfullly in the stream itself, as, little by little, the creatures that live in it are sucked into a mute and unseen struggle for survival. With grace and objectivity, and with a narrative rhythm echoing the patterns of nature, The Stream records the consequences of environmental degradation from the inside. As The Times (London) wrote, this is a devastatingly effective novel which ought to be required reading for schoolchildren, government ministers, businessmen, enironmentalists, and anyone else who has an interest in the environment., AB00183.

Halverson, Anders: An Entirely Synthetic Fish; 0300140878 / 9780300140873, New Book
2010 Yale University Press; 1st Ed, 1st Printing, Signed by the Author
Near Fine 8vo Hardcover, in Near Fine DJ
(Synopsis) Anders Halverson provides an exhaustively researched and grippingly rendered account of the rainbow trout and why it has become the most commonly stocked and controversial freshwater fish in the United States. Discovered in the remote waters of northern California, rainbow trout have been artificially propagated and distributed for more than 130 years by government officials eager to present Americans with an opportunity to get back to nature by going fishing. Proudly dubbed ?an entirely synthetic fishö by fisheries managers, the rainbow trout has been introduced into every state and province in the United States and Canada and to every continent except Antarctica, often with devastating effects on the native fauna. Halverson examines the paradoxes and reveals a range of characters, from nineteenth-century boosters who believed rainbows could be the saviors of democracy to twenty-first-century biologists who now seek to eradicate them from waters around the globe. Ultimately, the story of the rainbow trout is the story of our relationship with the natural world. How it has changed and how it startlingly has not., AB00741.

Montgomery, David R.: King of Fish: The Thousand-Year Run of Salmon; 0813341477 / 9780813341477, New Book
2003 Westview Press; 1st Ed, 1st Printing, Signed by the Author
As New 8vo Hardcover, in As New DJ
(Synopsis) The salmon that symbolize the Pacfic Northwest's natural splendor are now threatened with extinction across much of their ancestral range. In studying the natural and human forces that shape the rivers and mountains of that region, geologist David Montgomery has learned to see the evolution and near-extinction of the salmon as a story of changing landscapes. Montgomery shows how a succession of historical experiences - first in the United Kingdom, then in New England, and now in the Pacific Northwest - repeat a disheartening story in which overfishing and sweeping changes to rivers and seas render the world inhospitable to salmon., AB00436.
