River of the Angry Moon

In a book that carries the reader from deeply moving and poetic insights of BC's coastal natural phenomena, to alarming and occasionaly scathing analyses of resource management practices, Hume relates an incredibly intimate knowledge of the ecology and people of a very rich landscape. It may have been tempting for Hume to slip into a ranting diatribe of the regretable past policies which have scarred this beautiful place, but instead he describes to the reader the natural wonders of the Bella Coola valley along with the legends of the First Nations people that have inhabited the area. Hume's knowledge is vast and he can easily hold your interest on whatever subject takes his fancy. Highly recomended.
