Book Description
First published in 2004, and now with a new introduction by the author and a foreword by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., this book of natural history, environmentalism, and politics explores one of the Earth’s last primeval places: Clayoquot Sound. Pitt-Brooke takes the reader on 12 journeys, one for each month of the year. Each journey covers the outstanding natural event of that season, such as whale-watching in April, shorebird migration in May, and the salmon spawn in October.

About the Author
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.
