Amy Gulick's new book, The Salmon Way: An Alaska State of Mind, celebrates the connections among salmon and people in Alaska.
Intrigued that there is still a place in the world where the lives of people and wild salmon are inextricably linked, Amy ventured to Alaska to explore the web of human relationships that revolve around these extraordinary fish. Commercial fishermen took her on as crew; Alaska Native families taught her the art of preserving fish and culture; and sport fishing guides showed her where to cast her line as well as her mind. Alaskans everywhere, regardless of their wildly different beliefs, shared their salmon riches with her in their kitchens, cabins, and fish camps — it's the salmon way.

Amy Gulick's book, Salmon in the Trees: Life in Alaska's Tongass Rain Forest, is the winner of two Nautilus Book Awards and an Independent Publisher Book Award.
"...what if I told you that the trees are here, in part, because of the salmon? That the trees that shelter and feed the fish, that help build the fish, are themselves built by the fish?"
~ Carl Safina, essayist for Salmon in the Trees
A great achievement in environmental photography and ecology, this book dramatically illustrates that not only have we not seen the forest for the trees, we also havent understood the salmon, bears, and other interconnected parts of the natural world that we depend on.
-- Gary Braasch, author of
Secrets of the Old Growth Forest and Earth Under Fire: How Global Warming Is
Changing the World
Salmon in the Trees is an engaging and honest chronicle of one of our most important, resourcefully rich, and internationally significant national forests. Amy Gulick captures the stunning breadth of the land, while still enabling viewers to interact with the environment on an intimate level.
