Breaking the Banks

With skillful storytelling, Matthew McKenzie weaves together the industrial, cultural, political, and ecological history of New England's fisheries through the story of how the Boston haddock fleet - one of the region's largest and most heavily industrialized - rose, flourished, and then fished itself into near oblivion before the arrival of foreign competition in 1961.

Cu povestiri iscusite, Matthew McKenzie tese impreuna istoria industriala, culturala, politica si ecologica a pescariilor din Noua Anglie, prin povestea modului in care flota de eglefin din Boston - una dintre cele mai mari si cele mai puternic industrializate din regiune - a crescut, a inflorit si apoi s-a pescuit aproape de uitare inainte de sosirea competitiei straine in 1961.
