But when the enormous hydro-electric station at Ardnacrusha was built in 1929, what began as the Free State’s crowning achievement would have a devastating impact on the environment. In this evocative and thought-provoking memoir, Patsy Peril recalls a life deeply entwined with Irish wildlife and embedded in the history of modern Ireland. From a childhood spent on the water to a national conservation campaign, Patsy has a lifetime of knowledge to share about the wild Atlantic salmon – and a plan to save it.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: IEItem Height: 226mmItem Length: 155mmItem Width: 24mmItem Weight: 572gAuthor: Deirdre Nuttall, Patsy PerilGenre: BiographyTopic: Science Nature & Math, Sports & HobbiesRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
