Book Description

"If we mean to change our ways, how will we do it? How will we make our food and our system of food production healthy, sustainable, and secure? How will we make them, in a word, sane? Who will do this work?" Ray Huling knows the hard realities of shell fishing. His father and grandfathers were shell-fishermen on Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay, laborers in an age-old trade. As a third generation quahauger, the industry is his life, and the drive to keep it sustainable is what makes up his family history. In "Bullrakers," Huling answers these pressing questions and delivers a moving portrait of the men and women who work the waters of the Atlantic coast in the harsh environment of the shellfishing industry. Huling argues that any successful sustainable food enterprise will likely resemble shell fishing in Rhode Island, an industry which has existed sustainably for over 150 years, with its complex system of governance, its fierce and obsessive workforce, and its conflicts within communities and between generations. This thought provoking book sets the complexities of sustainable food production against a heartwarming story of one family's enduring years of work on the seas.

This app's ease of use has made my downtime more enriching and enjoyable. ListenBook has become my gateway to new worlds, allowing me to explore stories, ideas, and knowledge. A textbook example of great audiobook narration! The performer's diction was flawless, their pacing ideal, and their emotional range impressive. I never felt like I was being "read to" but rather like I was experiencing the story firsthand. The audio engineering was equally professional.
