Starting in 1825, David Douglas made the first systematic collections of flora and fauna across many parts of the greater Pacific Northwest. Colleagues in Great Britain then attached his name to more than 80 different species, including the region's iconic timber tree. A colorfully illustrated essay collection, David Douglas, a Naturalist at Work examines various aspects of Douglas' meteoric career, demonstrating connections between his work and the Pacific Northwest of today. From the Columbia River's perilous bar to luminous mountain wildflower blooms; from ever-changing technology frontiers to the quiet seasonal rhythms of tribal families gathering roots, Nisbet's compositions collapse time to shed light on the area's people and landscapes. Originally published in conjunction with a major museum exhibit, this is the first paperback edition.

Jack Nisbet is a teacher, naturalist, and award-winning nonfiction writer who focuses on the intersection of human and natural history in the Pacific Northwest. His award-winning books include Sources of the River: Tracking David Thompson across Western North America, which won a Washington State Governor's award, the Idaho Librarians Book of the Year, and the Murray Morgan History Prize. His book, Visible Bones: Journeys across Time in the Columbia River Country, explores the melding of human and natural history in the Northwest. In 2004 it garnered a Washington State Library Book Award.
