Salmon by Peter Coates
Part of the "Animal" series, this book relates the natural and cultural history of the salmon, a symbol of fortitude, fecundity, self-sacrifice, loyalty to place, and unwavering pursuit of destiny. Introducing the reader to the 'king of fish', it encompasses the salmon's evolutionary, ecological and human stories.
'an engagingly written and handsomely produced account of a phenomenal fish' - The Independent 'The words flow as easily and clearly as a well-oxygenated salmon stream and the text is illustrated with a wide variety of excellent photographs; including, surprisingly, a few of semi-naked beauties modelling attire made entirely out of salmon skin ... [the book] is first class and a great read. I heartily recommend it to all of you who, as I do, love and revere the "King of Fish".' - Fly Fishing & Fly Tying
