"A wonderful book, as Angell's superlative sculpture and exquisite drawings demonstrate how fine art can build a bridge of understanding to an extraordinary and still-wild area that remains an important repository of some of the natural capital we depend on." --Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University "Puget Sound is not just a description of a geography, it is a place. Tony Angell's book brings home that place in all its mystery and splendor. This is why the people who live [in the Pacific Northwest] love it." --William Ruckelshaus, former administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency "Tony Angell's sculpture is iconic." --Robert McCracken Peck, author of A Celebration of Birds
