A Time to Fish, A Time to Dry Nets

I love this book. It is entirely authentic and describes the history (and demise) of commercial fisheries in the Great Lakes region. In this age of increasing franchises and stripmalls, the ability for individuals to make their living simply and in a means connected to the earth, is giving way to misleading political spins designed for the uninformed masses. I live in Alaska and we hope to retain our commercial fishing way of life as long as possible, but politically it's all uphill. The fisheries in this book are now sadly, pure history.
