Reginald Byron
softcover
Price: CDN$23.95

Describes a people who, before the advent of oil, made their living
from the sea--as fishermen. Not a requiem: the book considers inhabitants'
perceptions of their past, present and future.
". . . refreshingly free of social science jargon and is effective
in describing Burra's transformation to The Modern World . . . Sea
Change is full of colourful accounts about ocean fishing
that the author obviously enjoys telling. This book would make
interesting reading for anyone who wants to learn what it is like to earn
a living from the sea."--Atlantic Provinces Book Review
