A Watershed Runs Through You: Essays, Talks, and Reflections on Salmon, Restoration, and Community

Angebote / Angebote:

Essays and talks from the author of the award-winning Totem Salmon: Life Lessons from Another Species.The essays and talks in A WATERSHED RUNS THROUGH YOU hold the formative insights that led to Freeman House's acclaimed Totem Salmon: Life Lessons from Another Species--the central place of salmon in the ecology and culture of the Cascadia bioregion and the critical role of human communities in the restoration of its home watersheds. In engaging, lyrical prose, House shares lessons learned from four decades working with his community to restore the Mattole River watershed: the idea of watershed as an organizing principle, the realization that the work of restoration and recovery, for watersheds as for people, has to come from within, and that this undertaking comes to us as lived experience, in a vernacular culture guided by that principle. In these essays, some written as early as the 1970s, House's words are more relevant than ever, prescient and far-ranging in their vision, offering equal parts inspiration and on-the-ground knowledge for our increasingly climate-challenged times. Freeman House reminds us that restoration requires both interspecies knowledge and community cooperation and asks us not only to learn to think like a watershed but to recognize--with humility--our place as humans within it. With an eloquent foreword by Stephanie Mills, an early passionate voice for bioregionalism, a preface by editor Jerry Martien, and an afterword by Ali Freelund of the Mattole Restoration Council that Freeman House founded four decades ago, this collection is a tribute to the enduring legacy of Freeman House's vision. As Mills writes, "Not every watershed will find a voice like that of Freeman House. But every watershed needs such streaming wisdom.
