{"product_id":"mingming-ii-and-the-islands-roger-taylor-9780955803574","title":"Mingming II and the Islands of the Ice","description":"Sailing his newly-created yacht Mingming II, Roger ventures into the Baring Sea and explores the islands of north-eastern Svalbard. During the 55-day voyage to waters seldom sailed in, he encounters everything from walruses to inquisitive humpback whales to massive ice cliffs, and nearly rescues a beautiful Russian girl from Bear Island. On his way back he makes his third visit to the island of Jan Mayen, deep in the Norwegian Sea, and there fulfils a long-held ambition. Acutely observational and well-laced with Taylor's wry humour, the book is as much an exploration of what is possible with one man, one simple boat and one home-made sail, as a journey to some of the planet's bleakest and most beautiful islands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roger Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0955803578\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780955803574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Troubador Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.51d","brand":"Roger Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947492835583,"sku":"9780955803574","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b6b44cf8-55fe-4fb5-a758-c48389ba7a4c.jpg?v=1681519057","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mingming-ii-and-the-islands-roger-taylor-9780955803574","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
