{"product_id":"legends-of-the-common-stream-john-hanson-mitchell-9781625345813","title":"Legends of the Common Stream","description":"For over twenty years, John Hanson Mitchell has visited Beaver Brook almost daily. This small, slow-flowing Massachusetts stream was of vital importance for early settlers and an indispensable resource for the Native peoples who lived and fished along its shores, but it has been largely forgotten in our own time. Revisiting the river's oxbows, bends, and marshes over the course of a year, \u003ci\u003eLegends of the Common Stream\u003c\/i\u003e combines a natural history of Beaver Brook with a study of the people who lived on this land and a meandering, but stunning, examination of the myths and legends that can help us to better understand humanity's relationship to the natural world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile Mitchell never leaves the brook's shores, he draws from a range of traditions and takes readers on excursions to regions and cultures across the globe and across time, making the case that our contemporary separation from nature goes hand in hand with our alienation from the world of myth. This book seeks to restore these broken relationships and offers the reminder that while cultures may come and go, the stream goes on forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Hanson Mitchell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 162534581X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781625345813\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bright Leaf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.20w x 0.70d","brand":"John Hanson Mitchell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044799770879,"sku":"9781625345813","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1ffa69fb-aa61-4694-bdfe-7bf0135bf618.jpg?v=1684974959","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/legends-of-the-common-stream-john-hanson-mitchell-9781625345813","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
