Publisher's Synopsis
Alexandra Morton is an internationally known whale researcher familiar to everyone interested in the west coast. Billy Proctor was born in the Broughton Archipelago, and has spent his life doing the time-honoured work of up-coast men -- fishing, hand-logging, beach-combing. One day, he realised that the coast he loved was dying around him and understood that it was time to put something back. 'Heart of the Raincoast' is the story of Billy Proctor's life, and the life of the coast he knows so well, once so rich, now so threatened.
