About This Item
An engaging tale of human interaction with sturgeon around the world, for better and for worse. Explores the intersection of luxury, commerce, and scarcity with the usual cast of rogues when money, regulation, and subterfuge intersect. Reads like a novel. The author undertook considerable field research in a number of cultures to assemble this mixture of science and cultural history.
