Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First Edition. FIRST PRINTING. "With its spectacular beaches and charming towns, Cape Cod is known around the world as a vacation spot and a summer retreat for the well-to-do. But there is another Cape Cod, a hidden, hardscrabble, year-round world whose hunter-gatherer economy dates back to the Bay Colony. This is the world of the independent fisherman, who lives by his wits on the ocean's unpredictable bounty. It's a world of arcane folkways and expert knowledge, of calculated risk and Yankee self-reliance, of freedom won daily through solitary, backbreaking work. It's a way of life deep in the American grain-enduring, yet imperiled by indifferent forces of change. Haunted by the numbers of family fishermen who have lately been forced to abandon the profession, Richard Adams Carey spent a year among a handful of men who stubbornly refuse to do so". 381 pages.

Reminiscent of the work of both John McPhee and Bill McKibben, Against the Tide is narrative journalism at its best, a masterly profile of four working men that on every page opens into something more: maritime history, marine ecology, and the poetic celebration of a special American place.…
