The River Written in Water
Four Salmon and the Senses That Carry Them Home (Book One)By Rowan Cassidy
Length38m
About this audiobook
The first of two volumes on the salmon's astonishing journey home. Here are four Pacific salmon and the senses that carry them: a chum picking a single tundra creek out of an ocean, a chinook that spends four silent years at sea banking the fuel for one final climb, a steelhead steering across a trackless ocean by the magnetic grain of the planet itself, and a coho refusing every wrong fork to find one stream among thousands. Written for the ear, each piece places you on the bank, in the current, and inside the animal, unfolding the science of olfactory and magnetic homing as quiet wonder. A meditation on memory, instinct, and the long road back to where a life began.
