A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

William McCloskey is a retired member of the John Hopkins University applied physics laboratory. McCloskey's particular passion is commercial fishing. He began hiring out on sabbaticals and vacations 25 years ago. He has fished all over the world with First and Third world crews of many nationalities. "What such writers as Owen Wister and J. Frank Dobie were to the cowboy, Bill McCloskey may be to the Alaska fisherman."--Anchorage Times. "McCloskey invokes vividly the strenuous but exhilarating life of men against the implecable ocean."--Library Journal. "With all his experiences across space and time, McCloskey occupies a unique position among observers of the world fishing industry. He's been there. He has perspective."--Alaska Fisherman's Journal.
