{"product_id":"charlottes-bones-erin-rounds-9780884488606","title":"Charlotte's Bones: The Beluga Whale in a Farmer's Field","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1849, a crew building a railroad through Charlotte, Vermont, dug up strange and beautiful bones in a farmer's field. A local naturalist asked Louis Agassiz to help identify them, and the famous scientist concluded that the bones belonged to a beluga whale. But how could a whale's skeleton have been buried so far from the ocean? The answer--that Lake Champlain had once been an arm of the sea--encouraged radical new thinking about geological time scales and animal evolution. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e \u003cem\u003eCharlotte's Bones\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e is a haunting, science-based reconstruction of how Charlotte died 11,000 years ago in a tidal marsh, how the marsh became a field, how Charlotte found a second life as the Vermont state fossil, and what messages her bones whisper to us now about the fragility of life and our changing Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erin Rounds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0884488608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780884488606\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tilbury House Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.90w x 0.20d","brand":"Erin Rounds","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995866824959,"sku":"9780884488606","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2bcea261-87cd-4c29-9555-ea0bdee71f54.jpg?v=1683338322","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/charlottes-bones-erin-rounds-9780884488606","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
