"A thorough and engaging history of Maine's rocky coast and its tough-minded people."--Boston Herald

" A] well-researched and well-written cultural and ecological history of stubborn perseverance."--USA Today

For more than four hundred years the people of coastal Maine have clung to their rocky, wind-swept lands, resisting outsiders' attempts to control them while harvesting the astonishing bounty of the Gulf of Maine. Today's independent, self-sufficient lobstermen belong to the communities imbued with a European sense of ties between land and people, but threatened by the forces of homogenization spreading up the eastern seaboard.

In the tradition of William Warner's Beautiful Swimmers, veteran journalist Colin Woodard (author of American Character: A History of the Epic Struggle Between Individual Liberty and the Common Good) traces the history of the rugged fishing communities that dot the coast of Maine and the prized crustacean that has long provided their livelihood. Through forgotten wars and rebellions, and with a deep tradition of resistance to interference by people "from away," Maine's lobstermen have defended an earlier vision of America while defying the "tragedy of the commons"--the notion that people always overexploit their shared property. Instead, these icons of American individualism represent a rare example of true communal values and collaboration through grit, courage, and hard-won wisdom.

Extremely poor quality. Too flexible!
Size: 1000 Teaspoons
Poor quality, flimsy, barely strong enough to stir my coffee. Not strong enough to use for eating even semi-solid food. Too much flex!

Great Quality for the Price
Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
Love these paper plates. They’re sturdy, microwave-safe, and hold up well without getting soggy or folding easily. Great for everyday use and cleanup is super convenient. Good value for the price and reliable for meals and snacks.

Nice and sturdy!
Size: 300 Count
This was our first time to try the Amazon Basics Everyday Plates. I typically purchase paper plates in bulk from a big box club store. These are just as good, if not better! They are thick and sturdy, and hold up well. The price point it also better! My only negative is the design on the plate isn’t the most appealing. I think it’d be better if the design was limited to just being on the edge, and not across the entire plate.
