If it is taken seriously in high places, it will save the herring and the Tlingit fishery. It is such a stunningly well-done, scholarly, tightly argued work that it will be impossible to dismiss.\"\u003c\/p\u003e * Ethnobiology Letters *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The critical element and clear strength of the book is that it is not just a chronicle of herring decline or diagnosis of what has gone wrong. Rather, it provides a way forward from the profoundly alarming situation we are confronted with. The authors’ way forward is a call to draw on traditional and local knowledge concerning sustainable harvesting practices and managerial strategies...[T]his volume offers the kind of rich, compelling and well-argued study that has significant potential to fuel transformational change.\"\u003c\/p\u003e * Journal of Island and Coastal Archaeology *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Integration of Indigenous knowledge into understanding and management of natural resources and the ecosystems they belong to has been a desired goal of anthropology for decades. Likewise, the use of archaeological data to provide deep diachronic perspective in studies of historical ecology is a growing objective\/rational for the pursuit of archaeological research. This book, which considers the past, present, and future of an often-overlooked, but critical keystone species, Pacific herring (\u003ci\u003eClupea pallasii\u003c\/i\u003e), represents a timely and impressive step toward attainment of those goals.\"\u003c\/p\u003e * Journal of Anthropological Research *","brand":"University of Washington Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49400896782679,"sku":"9780295748283","price":110.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780295748283.jpg?v=1730471880","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/herring-and-people-of-the-north-pacific-9780295748283","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
