商品描述：
Life Between the Levees is a chronicle of first-person reflections and folklore from pilots who have dedicated their lives to the river. The stories are as diverse as the storytellers themselves， and the volume is full of drama， suspense， and a way of life a "landlubber" could never imagine. Although waterways and ports in the Mississippi corridor move billions of dollars of products throughout the US and foreign markets， in today's world those who live and work on land have little knowledge of the river and the people who work there. In ten years of interviewing， Melody Golding collected over one hundred personal narratives from men and women who worked and lived on "brown water，" our inland waterways. As photographer， she has taken thousands of photos， of which 130 are included， of the people and boats， and the rivers where they spend their time. The book spans generations of river life-the oldest pilot was born in 1917 and the youngest in 1987-and includes stories from the 1920s to today. The stories begin with the pilots who were "broke in" by early steamboat pilots who were on the river as far back as the late 1800s. The early pilots in this book witnessed the transition from steamboat to diesel boat， while the youngest grew up in the era of GPS and twenty-first-century technology. Among many topics， the pilots reflect movingly on the time spent away from home because of their career， a universal reality for all mariners. As many pilots say when they talk about the river， ""I hate her when I'm with her， and I miss her when I'm gone.
