David James Duncan is an American novelist and essayist, best known for his two bestselling novels, The River Why and The Brothers K . Both involve fly fishing, baseball, and family.

Rick Bass is an American writer and an environmental activist. Bass was born in Fort Worth, Texas, the son of a geologist, and he studied petroleum geology at Utah State University.

In 1987, he moved with his wife, the artist Elizabeth Hughes, to the remote Yaak Valley near Troy, Montana, where he worked to protect his adopted home from roads and logging. Rick has served on the board of the Yaak Valley Forest Council and Round River Conservation Studies. He was a finalist for the Story Prize in 2007 for his short story collection The Lives of Rocks.

Review:

Yesterday my copy of the new book by Rick Bass and David James Duncan arrived. Simply put = = it is beautifully done. It has many excellent color and black and white photos which give wonderful visual perspectives. The authors dropped everything in their personal lives to achieve this important product in record time. These guys can really, REALLY write! If you are working on this critically important issue you have to have the book as a reference source for advocacy. If you are new to the issue and will please help this book will launch you forward like a rocket. My firm personal belief is that this is hands-down the most important social/economic/environmental issue on the table in the Pacific Northwest. It is also of course now a National and international issue. I am diving into the book today. --Scott Phillips
