The purpose of this rich and innovatively presented ethnography is to explore "mobility" and "place" and "culture" in greater depth, and also to connect this "lived experience" on the British Columbia Coast with many other social habitats seemingly very different from its own. In the process, readers are introduced to social theorists'¬" "illumination" of this social life '¬ ; the value of thinking and seeing "theoretically." Ferry Tales inaugurates a new Series entitled Innotavite Ethnographies for Routledge. The purpose of this Series is to use the "new digital technology" to capture a richer, more multidimensional view of social life than was otherwise done in the classic, print tradition of ethnography, while maintaining the traditional strengths of classic, ethnographic analysis.
