{"product_id":"cornerstones-mark-smalley-9781908213631","title":"Cornerstones: Subterranean Writings","description":"Adapted from the successful BBC Radio 3 series, Cornerstones explores how different rock types give rise to their own distinct flora and fauna, and even affect the food we eat. Some of the authors express a sense of awe in the face of the abyss of time that is locked into the lie of the land, a sense that jostles up against our own fleeting encounters with it. For example, Sara Maitland tries to grasp the extraordinary journey through space and time that's been undertaken by Lewisian gneiss, one of the most ancient of rocks found in the UK, while Alan Garner captures the ways in which flint has enabled and accompanied human evolution, ever since our ancestors walked out of Africa with it, stone in hand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Smalley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1908213639\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781908213631\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little Toller Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Mark Smalley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43939145253119,"sku":"9781908213631","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_728f377a-288e-44b3-9532-3d2d4ee35e08.jpg?v=1681439760","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cornerstones-mark-smalley-9781908213631","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
