{"product_id":"a-year-of-birds-geoff-wisner-9780881469172","title":"A Year of Birds: Writings on Birds from the Journal of Henry David Thoreau","description":"A work of art as well as a work of literature, A YEAR OF BIRDS will be welcomed by nature lovers, art lovers, and birders. With 150 color illustrations by renowned bird artist Barry Van Dusen and a foreword by celebrated naturalist Peter Alden, the author of numerous Audubon Field Guides, Henry David Thoreau's writings on birds are arranged by the day of the year, emphasizing the relationship of birds with their environment and the spiritual significance of the seasons. On any given day, curious readers might step into their yards and compare the birds they observe with those that Thoreau saw and heard. With a focus on the town of Concord, Massachusetts, where Thoreau spent most of his life, A YEAR OF BIRDS includes the best of Thoreau's unparalleled descriptions of birds, from the red-tailed hawk to the Blackburnian warbler. Special sections are devoted to the now-vanished passenger pigeon and to Thoreau's mysterious \"night warbler.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geoff Wisner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0881469173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780881469172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mercer University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 7.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Geoff Wisner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44652116607231,"sku":"9780881469172","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_05d1d481-4c24-46c7-8141-2ffc82ba1949.jpg?v=1704214643","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-year-of-birds-geoff-wisner-9780881469172","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
