{"product_id":"furthest-ecology-adam-fagin-9781885635679","title":"Furthest Ecology","description":"\u003ci\u003eFurthest Ecology\u003c\/i\u003e takes up the life and labor of Abbott Thayer, the prickly, irrepressible American painter and naturalist nicknamed \"the father of camouflage.\" In 1896, Thayer discovered countershading, also known as \"Thayer's Law,\" the theory of animal coloration often credited for laying the groundwork for military camouflage in World War I. Fagin's poetry follows Thayer through \"pure leafy space\" ringing with \"hypertelic \/ rhythms of a redpoll,\" examining in lush, panoramic detail \"the clairvoyance of the artist's attention.\" But this idyllic portrait unravels as Thayer's story proceeds. Grieving the death of his first wife and, later, cutting a frenzied path through wartime Europe, Thayer encounters darker forces, within and without. With spare beauty and sharp-edged syntax, Fagin conjures the painter's world: Loss, despair, obsession, ecstasy, and the aesthetic sublime. \u003ci\u003eFurthest Ecology\u003c\/i\u003e is a vivid and powerful debut that will haunt readers with its singular vision of artistic pursuit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Fagin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1885635672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781885635679\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Colorado\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/08\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 6.30w x 0.40d","brand":"Adam Fagin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440091377919,"sku":"9781885635679","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8763e3f8-b339-44cd-b1ca-99776a332a97.jpg?v=1777180321","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/furthest-ecology-adam-fagin-9781885635679","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
