{"product_id":"9781960758149","title":"Alibi Mike And His Gang Of Parasites On The State: The Experiences Of A Fisheries Biologist's First Summer In Alaska","description":"This collection of tales is Kim Francisco's memories of his first summer working for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game's Commercial Fisheries Division in the Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim Region. His experiences ranged from mundane to life-threatening, comical to tragic. He found it so satisfying it led to a lifelong career in natural resource management. These events occurred primarily in 1973; however, the timeline occasionally jumps to reach the final conclusion. Fishermen are notoriously difficult to persuade, so fisheries management mostly deals with people, which was interesting in Alaska's cross-cultural life. Life-long friendships are formed, and romance is part of every 21-year-old's life. This is Mr. Francisco's first book, a dream of a lifelong reader\/writer that was a long time coming. Kim is now 71 years old and a widower. His twenty-one years of service on the Iowa Natural Resource Commission, the longest-serving commissioner ever, has ended. His lifetime of public service has expanded his experience to include all public outdoor recreation activities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eKim Francisco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eAspire Publishing Hub, Llc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eApr 12, 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e200 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1960758144\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781960758149\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Aspire Publishing Hub, Llc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48078876737841,"sku":"9781960758149","price":12.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/products\/9781960758149.jpg?v=1704984415","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781960758149","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
