Summary

In the manner of Thoreau, naturalist David Pitt-Brooke meditates on one of Earth's last untouched places -- Vancouver Island's fabled Clayoquot Sound. This area came to prominence during "Clayoquot Summer, " a 1993 protest that resulted in 800 arrests but also halted the region's destruction by logging. Clayoquot Sound encompasses every imaginable landscape, from alpine tundra to old-growth temperate rain forest. Like Barry Lopez did with the north in "Arctic Dreams, " Pitt-Brooke approaches this wild, magical place by taking readers on an unforgettable journey for each month of the year. "Chasing Clayoquot" is a profound -- and political -- trip through an extraordinary environment.

Author Biography

David Pitt-Brooke leads the reader on twelve journeys through Clayoquot Sound, one of Earth's last untouched places on the northwestern rim of North America. The result is a beautifully written meditation, a paean to an extraordinary, precious, and threatened environment.

Award-winning Writer and researcher David Pitt-Brooke writes for a variety of science and nature publications. He lives in Tofino, British Columbia, on the edge of Clayoquot Sound.
