What with our depleted Northwest salmon fisheries, and the problem of overharvesting our seas in general, plus the curse-blessing-controversy offered by fish farms, this new memoir offers a personal, historical perspective. Catching the Ebb: Drift-Fishing for a Life in Cook Inlet relates the California-based author's three decades as a commercial fisherman (he was also a college literature professor during the off season) from the '60s through the '90s. Local artist Tony Angell (In the Company of Crows and Ravens) provides illustrations. BRIAN MILLER
