More about the book:
"From wolves to salmon, from the great blue Heron to the gray whale, Singing to the Sound is Brenda Peterson's eloquent refrain to the American West. In this her latest book of personal and journalistic essays, Brenda Peterson explores and illuminates the complicated, but essential relationship between humans and animals, between humans and nature. Whether describing her swims with dolphins in the wild; the healing benefits of animal play; or the ongoing battles over hunting wolves and whales, Peterson gives her readers the opportunity to become 'other' as she muses and envisions nature, animals and spirit in new ways."
"Singing to the Sound reveals darker and more trouble waters--from Makah wale hunt to ether feared extinction of Northwest salmon. For the first time in book form, Brenda Peterson unravels the complexities of the highly controversial Makah whale hunt--the first off U.S. mainland shores in nearly a century. As mediator ad reporter of this international story for five years, Peterson now writes as a historian with an eye for the future of both people and whales."
