Book excerpt: "Before prehistoric humans began to cultivate grain, they had three main methods of acquiring food: hunting, gathering, and fishing. Hunting and gathering are no longer economically important, having been replaced by their domesticated equivalents, ranching and farming. But fishing, humanity's last major source of food from the wild, has grown into a worldwide industry on which we have never been more dependent. In this history of fishing--not as sport but as sustenance--archaeologist and writer Brian Fagan argues that fishing rivaled agriculture in its importance to civilization. [He] tours archaeological sites worldwide to show ... how fishing fed the development of cities, empires, and ultimately the modern world"--Jacket flaps.

Book Synopsis The Mortal Sea by : W. Jeffrey Bolster
Download or read book The Mortal Sea written by W. Jeffrey Bolster and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2012-10-08 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Viking ascendancy in the Middle Ages, the Atlantic has shaped the lives of people who depend upon it for survival. And just as surely, people have shaped the Atlantic. In his innovative account of this interdependency, W. Jeffrey Bolster, a historian and professional seafarer, takes us through a millennium-long environmental history of our impact on one of the largest ecosystems in the world. While overfishing is often thought of as a contemporary problem, Bolster reveals that humans were transforming the sea long before factory trawlers turned fishing from a handliner's art into an industrial enterprise. The western Atlantic's legendary fishing banks, stretching from Cape Cod to Newfoundland, have attracted fishermen for more than five hundred years. Bolster follows the effects of this siren's song from its medieval European origins to the advent of industrialized fishing in American waters at the beginning of the twentieth century. Blending marine biology, ecological insight, and a remarkable cast of characters, from notable explorers to scientists to an army of unknown fishermen, Bolster tells a story that is both ecological and human: the prelude to an environmental disaster. Over generations, harvesters created a quiet catastrophe as the sea could no longer renew itself. Bolster writes in the hope that the intimate relationship humans have long had with the ocean, and the species that live within it, can be restored for future generations.

Book Synopsis The Fishes of the Sea by : Dave Preble
Download or read book The Fishes of the Sea written by Dave Preble and published by Sheridan House, Inc.. This book was released on 2001 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this wide-ranging book Dave Preble, who has spent a lifetime fishing the waters of the East Coast, provides a fascinating overview of the history and nature of both commercial and sport fishing in New England waters. He brings to life the glory days when fish were plentiful and new technology made huge catches commonplace. He hauntingly describes the havoc wrought by overfishing in the 1980's, and finally expresses the hope that a new ethical approach to nature and strict adherence to quotas will combine with the fortuitous resurgence of species believed near extinction. The scientific and technical discourse about the major species???cod, stripers, bluefish, tuna, sharks, etc.???is interspersed with exciting tales reminiscent of The Perfect Storm. Through it all, we experience firsthand a unique, highly dangerous lifestyle, always at the brink of disaster.
Book Synopsis Fishing a Borderless Sea by : Brian J. Payne
Download or read book Fishing a Borderless Sea written by Brian J. Payne and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2010-02-16 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the centuries, processing and distribution of products from land and sea has stimulated the growth of a global economy. In the broad sweep of world history, it may be hard to imagine a place for the meager little herring baitfish. Yet, as Brian Payne adeptly recounts, the baitfish trade was hotly contested in the Anglo-American world throughout the nineteenth century. Politicians called for wars, navies were dispatched with guns at the ready, vessels were seized at sea, and violence erupted at sea. Yet, the battle over baitfish was not simply a diplomatic or political affair. Fishermen from hundreds of villages along the coastline of Atlantic Canada and New England played essential roles in the construction of legal authority that granted or denied access to these profitable bait fisheries. Fishing a Borderless Sea illustrates how everyday laborers created a complex system of environmental stewardship that enabled them to control the local resources while also allowing them access into the larger global economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Deadly Chase on The Bering Sea Immerse yourself in crewman Spike Walker's Working on the Edge, an adrenaline-fueled narrative that brings to life the world of Alaskan king crab fishing. Set against the merciless backdrop of the turbulent Bering Sea, the book is a visceral account of human struggle, survival, and the dogged pursuit of fortune. Working on the Edge transports you to the wretched, unforgiving conditions of the Bering Sea with its icy winds, treacherous waves, and debilitating on-deck labor. More than a mere profession, crab fishing in these chilling waters stands as a brutal testament to the battle of man against nature, where every decision carries the weight of life and death. Alongside personal stories, Walker brings to light the stories of survivors from the industry's deadly disasters, painting a vivid picture of the harsh reality of this dangerous line of work. Walker rivetingly depicts the modern-day gold rush that drew hundreds of fortune-and adventure-hunters to Alaska's dangerous waters.

Book Synopsis Tales of Fishing Virgin Seas by : Zane Grey
Download or read book Tales of Fishing Virgin Seas written by Zane Grey and published by . This book was released on 1925 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stepping off the deck of his three-masted schooner, the Fisherman, at the end of an unparalleled fishing cruise, Zane Grey set down the record, without an instant's delay, of these adventurous weeks. The result is this book, a narrative of adventure and deep-sea fishing, unique even in the career of this great sportsman. Cruising in the dangerous, little-known sections of the Pacific around the Galapagos Islands, the party, putting out from the Fisherman in small boats, threw their lines into the waters often alive with man-eating sharks. At other times, under less strenuous conditions, Zane Grey devoted his time to careful observation, and the recording, cataloguing and photographing of strange and little-known game fish. Here, certainly, is a book that ever good sportsman will wish to own -- a chronicle of adventure and danger, and sport for sport's sake.

Book Synopsis The View from Lazy Point by : Carl Safina
Download or read book The View from Lazy Point written by Carl Safina and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exhilarating journey of natural renewal through a year with MacArthur fellow Carl Safina Beginning in his kayak in his home waters of eastern Long Island, Carl Safina's The View from Lazy Point takes us through the four seasons to the four points of the compass, from the high Arctic south to Antarctica, across the warm belly of the tropics from the Caribbean to the west Pacific, then home again. We meet Eskimos whose way of life is melting away, explore a secret global seed vault hidden above the Arctic Circle, investigate dilemmas facing foraging bears and breeding penguins, and sail to formerly devastated reefs that are resurrecting as fish graze the corals algae-free. "Each time science tightens a coil in the slack of our understanding," Safina writes, "it elaborates its fundamental discovery: connection." He shows how problems of the environment drive very real matters of human justice, well-being, and our prospects for peace. In Safina's hands, nature's continuous renewal points toward our future. His lively stories grant new insights into how our world is changing, and what our response ought to be.

Book Synopsis Cod and Herring by : James Harold Barrett
Download or read book Cod and Herring written by James Harold Barrett and published by Oxbow Books Limited. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quests for cod, herring and other sea fish had profound impacts on medieval Europe. This interdisciplinary book combines history, archaeology and zooarchaeology to discover the chronology, causes and consequences of these fisheries. It crosscuts traditional temporal and geographical boundaries, ranging from the Migration Period through the Middle Ages into early modern times, and from Iceland to Estonia, Arctic Norway to Belgium. It addresses evidence for human impacts on aquatic ecosystems in some instances and for a negligible medieval footprint on superabundant marine species in others (in contrast with industrial fisheries of the 19th-21st centuries). The book explores both incremental and punctuated changes in marine fishing, providing a unique perspective on the rhythm of Europe's environmental, demographic, political and social history. The 20 chapters - by experts in their respective fields - cover a range of regions and methodological approaches, but come together to tell a coherent story of long-term change. Regional differences are clear, yet communities of the North Atlantic Ocean and the Baltic, North and Irish Seas also followed trajectories with many resonances. Ultimately they were linked by a pan-European trade network that turned preserved fish into wine, grain and cloth. At the close of the Middle Ages this nascent global network crossed the Atlantic, but its earlier implications were no less pivotal for those who harvested the sea or profited from its abundance.
