Working on the Edge, Surviving in the World's Most Dangerous Profession

Working on the Edge, Surviving in the World's Most Dangerous Profession

by Spike Walker

  • HISTORY
  • 2003
  • PAPER
  • 280 PAGES

Enthralling, if not somewhat pulpy, these true-life tales of crab fishing expeditions off the coast of Alaska capture all the danger and adrenaline that go with making a living at sea. For authenticity's sake, the author served as a crewman on numerous boats and saw first-hand the risks -- and the money -- involved in Alaska's commercial fishing industry.  (ALA158, $15.95)
