The Price of Men's Lives Raymond O West

An entire North American culture doesn't just come apart at the seams. Not in these modern times it doesn't. . .. . .but that is exactly what happens when politicians cease to care, when corporate greed takes over, when responsible stewardship is absent. For half a millennium, the wealth of the sea supported the people of Newfoundland. It's a resource seemingly without end. No single catastrophic incident, natural or man-made, could possibly undo what nature has built since the beginning of time. But the small, reckless acts of individuals can. And in the aftermath, they change forever lives, families, and even the culture itself. The Price of Men's Lives tracks the lives of two fishermen, their families and community as they wage their battle against devastating occurrences. It reflects on their past and doomed hopes for a future. The drama of the north seas lends to suspense as it places our fragile earth, and even more fragile societies, in a unique perspective.
