{"product_id":"a-finger-of-land-on-earl-vincent-de-berge-9781663242105","title":"A Finger of Land on an Old Man's Hand: Adventures in Mexico's Baja Wilderness","description":"Chronicles in words and photographs the 1962-64 adventures of young men inspired by naturalist Joseph Wood Krutch's book, \"The Forgotten Peninsula,\" about Baja California (1961). Then a sparsely populated raw wilderness, Baja proved a formidable challenge to men and equipment within its mountainous, sometimes lush, sometimes barren, desert environments, spectacular geology and complex ecologies bracketed by oceans. They enjoyed encounters with wild animals; found bountiful places to hunt and fish; met frontier families of the kindest sort; experienced Pacific storms, and love in a frontier village; met gold prospectors, hermits and one-of-a-kind characters. They encountered brigands and fools; had life-threatening events; found gold nuggets and rescued lost team members. Plant photography was among the author's interests, only partially foiled by wind-blown sand fouling his camera lens. Most important, they learned about themselves and their relations with nature and God -- finding their own answers or clarifying what they hoped to better understand. Major contributions to this book were provided by Earl's life-long friend Mark Winheld.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Earl Vincent de Berge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1663242100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781663242105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/21\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 482\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 1.31d","brand":"Earl Vincent de Berge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44080334995711,"sku":"9781663242105","price":50.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e31f63dc-70aa-4c4b-9cd1-901101d07a1b.jpg?v=1685486233","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-finger-of-land-on-earl-vincent-de-berge-9781663242105","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
