{"product_id":"islands-of-new-brunswick-allison-mitcham-9781771080224","title":"Islands of New Brunswick","description":"Culled from her collections \u003ci\u003eOffshore Islands\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eParadise or Purgatory\u003c\/i\u003e (1984), \u003ci\u003eNew Brunswick Islands\u003c\/i\u003e is part ecocritical exploration and part historical survey, as Mitcham explores the province's not-so-far-off islands in search of their unique stories. The result is an extraordinary collection of essays that illuminates the social and cultural histories behind New Brunswick's islands. Exposed are the complexities of island history, from the Aboriginal peoples of Indian Island to the generations of lighthouse keeping on Miscou, to the tragic quarantine history of Passamaquoddy's Hospital Island (Partridge Island). Industrious islands, from the once-lucrative quarries of Grindstone Island, to the still-flourishing fisheries of Grand Manan are also investigated, as well as the mysterious histories behind the now-uninhabited Heron and Shediac Islands, which have largely been reclaimed by nature. This revised edition features the original illustrations by Peter Mitcham.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Allison Mitcham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771080221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771080224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nimbus Publishing (CN)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Allison Mitcham","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49097067036927,"sku":"9781771080224","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/islands-of-new-brunswick-allison-mitcham-9781771080224","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
