5.0 out of 5 stars
Beautifully designed overview of salmon and their plight, March 5, 2006
This review is from: Atlas of Pacific Salmon: The First Map-Based Status Assessment of Salmon in the North Pacific (Hardcover)
This book is beautifully illustrated with photographs, illustrations, and the most detailed distribution maps I have ever seen. The design of the book makes it a perfect coffee top book and it's content makes it both a perfect introduction to the world of salmon while at the same time a valuable scientific reference.
This book is very accessible to non-scientists, if you are looking for a book about how salmon, man, and the enviroment interact this is a great book. The title sounds a little academic but it can be appreciated by anyone with interest in salmon. And anyone who flips through the book will be taken in by the beauty of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A new standard, August 3, 2005
This review is from: Atlas of Pacific Salmon: The First Map-Based Status Assessment of Salmon in the North Pacific (Hardcover)
The Atlas of Pacific Salmon is what all universities and government agencies needed 20 years ago. I dare say, it was almost worth the wait. This is a splensid compilation of data and images. The map work in this volume deserves much praise. The content covers biogeography, biology, genetics, threats, status etc....
Should sell for over $150
