Out on the Deep Blue : Women, Men, and the Oceans They Fish

Summary: Awesome Collection!
Review: Reading this book, I felt right on the water--pitching and rolling with the waves. The first essay by Marie Beaver brings the reader directly into the essence of what it means to work in a natural environment and to make choices about one's life. Thank you to Fields for collecting a reminder of a natural world and an occupation now in decline.
