{"product_id":"choptank-odyssey-tom-horton-9780764350009","title":"Choptank Odyssey: Celebrating a Great Chesapeake River","description":"This book of more than 150 vibrant photographs and seven essays depicts the natural history, human history, science, and culture of the Delmarva Peninsula's largest river. Explore the Choptank River--from its beginnings at upstream springs and farm ditches to its broad estuary below Cambridge, Maryland--discover its inhabitants, and learn about the impact of human activity on the natural environment. Generations of watermen and farmers, oystermen and oyster shuckers, crabbers and crab pickers, commercial fishermen, and a \"turkler\" are just a few of the folks you'll become acquainted with. Additionally, retired biologist and aquatic scientist Nick Carter, water quality scientist Tom Fisher, and oyster captain Wade Murphy offer tales of wonder and sacrifice while also warning us of the consequences of overpopulation and wasteful habits. Learn how we can restore the river, reduce pollution, conserve food and fuel, and protect this special place for all of time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Horton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0764350005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780764350009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Schiffer Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 8.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Tom Horton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47965151691007,"sku":"9780764350009","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eac3a8fc-3ee2-48c1-90f9-fd53c78c74e9.jpg?v=1767278749","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/choptank-odyssey-tom-horton-9780764350009","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
