520    The figure of an old man poling a skiff toward shore 
       against the evening light engaged Susan Brait to learn 
       about Chesapeake Bay, and it is that image which opens 
       this her book on the oystermen of the Bay and the sapping 
       of their traditional life, and even the bounty of the Bay 
       itself, by the demands of American society. With 
       directness and poetic economy Brait takes the reader into 
       the life of the Bay and into the complex relationships 
       that affect oysters and those who make their living from 
       them. Her account weaves easily from the daily work of 
       oystermen to the natural forces that have shaped.
