    • 1983, British trade paperback edition, Routledge & Kegan Paul, London, U.K. 398 pages. Maps / b&w photos throughout. Very unusual title, beautifully done, which deals with the issue of "... the past and the future of all who live from the sea." Drawing on more than 150 life story interviews with men and women from Scottish and English fishing communities, the book also bases itself on hitherto unused private and public records. A really well done title in the publisher's History Workshop series.

      In this new edition of a standard text on the subject, Paul Thompson argues that oral history, though largely neglected by conventional historians, can help to create a truer, more democratic picture of the past, documenting the lives and feelings of all types of people. In addition to tracing the development, theory, and practical methods of oral history, this edition includes many new examples and chapters, and an enlarged bibliography, bringing Thompson's work completely up to date.
