{"product_id":"encounters-from-a-kayak-nigel-foster-9780762781065","title":"Encounters from a Kayak: Native People, Sacred Places, and Hungry Polar Bears","description":"What makes travel special? Perhaps the chill realization that a polar bear's eyes are fixed on you. Maybe it is the chance meeting with a man who buries sharks in a beach, only to dig them up months later, not out of morbid curiosity, but for food. Perhaps it is the undulating wing-beat of a dark shell-less gastropod in the canal of a 17th Century French sea port, or the criminal history of a rusting ship with a tree growing from its hold. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eEncounters in a Kayak\u003c\/i\u003e brings the reader along on the magical experiences that surround sea kayaking. It's about the animals, people, and special places around the globe that have grabbed the attention of renowned kayaker and writer Nigel Foster. His irrepressible curiosity drives him to tease out the unexpected stories hidden behind his subjects. These nuggets from around the world are bound together by water and a centuries-old form of sea travel: kayak. The result is a book of broad appeal for those interested in kayaking, traveling, and adventure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nigel Foster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0762781068\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780762781065\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Falcon Press Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.15w x 0.57d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/14\/2012","brand":"Nigel Foster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47930681164031,"sku":"9780762781065","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4c6adc32-42e6-4afe-90e2-ff86d780171e.jpg?v=1766343531","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/encounters-from-a-kayak-nigel-foster-9780762781065","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
