Produktbeschreibung

In times that all too often leave us feeling adrift in the prevailing currents of a human civilization and natural world in decline, where do we turn to find solace, purpose, direction, and hope? There is a reason why standing by the ocean's shore calls us to go deeper while seeking the answers to our most pressing questions. The ocean speaks to us with images of life's turmoil and tranquility. The ocean is our "Home Place." It is where life began - and its health reflects our own. Like its predecessors, Casting Seaward is at once an adventure and an act of discovery and recollection. It brings us deep into the heart of this living planet and reminds us that the fate of the ocean is the fate of humanity. In Casting Seaward Steve Ramirez takes us on an outdoor adventure exploring the salty shores, estuaries, reefs, and depths of North America, in search of saltwater and anadromous gamefish, meaningful friendships, and a hopeful future. Casting Seaward will take you to faraway places as varied as Alaska's Tongass Wilderness, California's giant kelp forests, the expansive estuaries of the Texas coast, the Caribbean's vast tidal sand flats, the mangrove forests and reefs of South Florida, the Low Country of South Carolina, and the wild coastal rips of Montauk, New York. You will dive beneath the ocean's surface and climb coastal rainforest mountains while following salmon from the sea to their birthplace. You will smell the pungent aroma of hidden bears. You will feel the powerful pull of outgoing tides. And you will learn a great deal about these places and its people along the way. Casting Seaward is about much more than fishing- it is about our lives on Earth and the life of the Earth. It doesn't matter if you are an angler, hiker, paddler, naturalist, or simply find peace walking along a beach at sunrise... Casting Seaward will transport you to times and places where you too can explore and experience the power of nature and the best of human nature.
