{"product_id":"against-the-tide-richard-adams-carey-9780618056989","title":"Against the Tide: The Fate of the New England Fisherman","description":"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. The world of the independent fisherman is one of constant peril, of arcane folkways and expert knowledge, of calculated risk and self-reliance -- and of freedom won daily through backbreaking, solitary work. It is a way of life deep in the American grain.\u003cbr\u003e Haunted by the numbers of family fishermen who have recently been forced to abandon the profession, Richard Adams Carey spent a year among a handful of men who stubbornly refuse to do so. Reminiscent of the work of William Warner and Joseph Mitchell, AGAINST THE TIDE is a masterly profile of four New England fishermen in which every page opens onto something more profound: maritime history, maritime ecology, and the poetic celebration of a special American place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Adams Carey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 061805698X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780618056989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.36h x 5.50w x 0.98d","brand":"Richard Adams Carey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43920392388863,"sku":"9780618056989","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_cde6bb91-7541-4b1c-a100-3a05de2d7ac7.jpg?v=1680815123","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/against-the-tide-richard-adams-carey-9780618056989","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
