- Summary
- "In Salmon, Peter Coates examines the fish from the differing perspectives of those who have eaten it, pursued it, pondered its meaning and absorbed it into culture and art. Ranging from Nova Scotia to Norway and from Korea to California, he tells the evolutionary, ecological and cultural stories of the salmon that has been variously revered, depended upon and abused by humans. The result is an innovative biography of a species that will delight anyone who has ever eaten or tried to catch this charismatic fish."--Jacket.
