Against
the Tide: The Fate of the New England Fisherman by Richard Adams CareyLobsters four feet long and weighing 45 pounds! Those days are gone. This book profiles four New England independent fishermen, the peril, the hard work, the fishery politics. From Washington Post Book World: "This book should be read for its balanced portrayal of a New England fishery, but more than that it exemplifies the classic conflict between natural and human resources. Yes, it is true that certain kinds of fishing are very destructive. But Carey is also a humanist and a journalist of considerable depth, who weaves the fate of men and fish together into a whole story." |

Vineyard resident Schneider describes the culture of the area's Nauset and Wampanoag Indians, machinations of the last ice age, which sculpted the cape, islands and shoals he loves and retells the tragedy of the whaleship Essex and the ecological ravages of DDT in the 1960s. |
