The Harvest of the Sea
James Glass Bertram
The sea feeds nations, and James Bertram counts the cost and the bounty. From fish life and growth to the great commerce of the herring and salmon, this is the natural and economic history of the harvest of the ocean. Fisheries, fish culture, anglers' quarry, all surveyed with Victorian thoroughness. A sweeping account of humanity's oldest partnership with the deep.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
