My Re-Education in Seattle's Shipyards

Beschreibung

In the 1970s, broke college graduate Mike Nolan signed on as a shipyard laborer and soon discovered that the most worthwhile education often happens outside of a classroom. Conveying immense respect for his fellow ship scalers, these entertaining accounts shine a light on the gritty, dangerous--yet still often humorous--world of heavy construction.
