Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Alongshore, Where Man and the Sea Face One Another: With Illus, by Melville Mackay
It was about those conditions, in the broadest sense of the word, that I wanted to write a book; not about certain men, women, and children this time, but about the sea and the beach and your rocks; the tides and eddies, both of water and of humanity, that set alongshore; what you and the likes of you have to contend with and what you glory in. I wanted, in a word, to describe not certain longshoremen, but the longshore itself.
