Reviews

[Sarah Faber · Rating 4 out of 5]

Never met an ethnography of fishing the commons I didn’t like and this book which my grandma got me bc the hero is my great grandfather is no exception. The word “individualism” is used probably average 1x per page which bothered me but other than that very fun very my genre
