Their Fathers' Work: Casting Nets with the World's Fishermen - Hardcover
"No one writing today can match William McCloskey's knowledge of fishing or the breadth of his experience at sea. He is the writer of record on world fishing." - William Warner, Pulitzer Prize winner, author of "Beautiful Swimmers and Distant Waters". What reviewers said about "Fish Decks", William McCloskey's previous book: "His achievement has been to write a paean for a way of life." - Smithsonian "His love for the fishing trade in all its aspects imbues every page of this vivid book." - "Washington Post Book World". "A gripping account of his experience among the independent, vigorous men and women with whom he hauled lines and gutted fish under hand-numbing conditions." - "Publishers Weekly". "His vivid descriptions of maritime fishing might well be placed beside Peter Matthiessen's Men's Lives for anyone interested in understanding the hard price these people pay for their chosen way of life." - "Library Journal".

Review:
"McCloskey writes with first-hand knowledge and passion about the sea and the men and women who fish it, survive it, sometimes drown in it." Audubon Naturalist News 19981214 "The book is an eloquent statement about the poor health of the world's fisheries, as well as the lives of the world's fishermen. Few recent books have told their story in such epic proportions. The Telegram 19981130
Book Description:
Fishing is the last of the hunting occupations and one of the most dangerous, with a mortality rate twice of a New York City police officer. This book will put the reader right on the deck working along with the fishermen and women of the world, encountering storms, bureaucrats, sinkings, poor catches, and just enough good luck to fish another day.
