{"product_id":"hostile-beauty-alistair-dermer-9780522855043","title":"Hostile Beauty: Life on Macquarie Island","description":"There are few places today that are truly wild.\u003cbr\u003eMacquarie Island is still one such place--a small, wind-blasted rocky outcrop between Tasmania and Antarctica. In exquisite pictures and words, A Hostile Beauty tells the story of this extraordinary Australian outpost teeming with life.\u003cbr\u003eAlistair Dermer's stunning photography gives us an up-close look at the lives of the inhabitants: gentle gentoo penguins, engorged elephant-seal bulls and scavenging skuas, and takes us deep into a landscape that is as beautiful and life-giving as it is hostile and pitiless. Let these superb images, from the fury of the squalling Southern Ocean to the warm, trusting eyes of a seal pup, transport you to one of the most remote and spectacular places on Earth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alistair Dermer,Danielle Wood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0522855040\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780522855043\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Melbourne University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 8.50w x 0.80d","brand":"Alistair Dermer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48443509801215,"sku":"9780522855043","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fa2a9a25-5266-45f7-b8bb-9aa071901248.jpg?v=1777205967","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hostile-beauty-alistair-dermer-9780522855043","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
