{"product_id":"krakow-adam-izdebski-9780822946137","title":"Krakow: An Ecobiography","description":"Like most cities, Poland's Krakow developed around and because of its favorable geography. Before Warsaw, Krakow served as Poland's capital for half a millennium. It has functioned as a cultural center, an industrial center, a center of learning, and home for millions of people. Behind all of this lies the city's environment: its fauna and plant life, the Vistula River, the surrounding countryside rich with resources, and man-made change that has allowed the city to flourish. In \u003ci\u003eKrakow: An Ecobiography\u003c\/i\u003e, the contributors use the city as a lens to focus these social and natural intricacies to shed new light on one of Europe's urban treasures. With chapters on pollution, water systems, the city's natural network with the surrounding area, urban infrastructure, and more, \u003ci\u003eKrakow\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how much an environmental perspective can bring to the understanding of Poland's history and the challenges presented by the heritage of the past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Izdebski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822946130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822946137\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.00w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2022","brand":"Adam Izdebski","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43992506564863,"sku":"9780822946137","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_386e2a5c-1a98-4df2-8186-76dc2e830c28.jpg?v=1683319313","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/krakow-adam-izdebski-9780822946137","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
