{"product_id":"no-island-too-far-michael-brooke-9781784275495","title":"No Island Too Far: Searching for Seabirds on Remote Specks of Land","description":"\u003cp\u003eThroughout a lifetime of biological and seabird research, Michael Brooke has been blessed with the opportunity to visit a huge array of islands dotted across all the oceans of world. His is an island list fit to make the armchair traveller green with envy - and potentially seasick. Truly no island has been too far: from St Kilda to Spitsbergen, from Hawaii to the furthest reaches of the Southern Ocean, with all manner of destination in between.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this deeply knowledgeable and at times humorous book, the author shares the experience of stupendous scenery, amazing wildlife and cutting-edge scientific investigation, all blended with idiosyncratic adventures. We discover a great deal about the peculiar ecology and unique species of islands, looking at everything from plants, mammals, reptiles and birds to human aspects, with a splash of history and anecdote.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe engaging journey will appeal to anyone who wants to learn about islands that they will probably never visit in person. The reader will share the day-to-day grind and exhilaration of undertaking fieldwork in remote situations, reflecting on the curiosity of a mindset that enables equal pleasure to be extracted from, say, Sicilian architecture and the inexpressibly brown landscape of Cape Verde.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Brooke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784275492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784275495\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pelagic Publishing Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Michael Brooke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46640859250943,"sku":"9781784275495","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6e0ba3c8-ddeb-4f4f-9610-03ab72e5f53f.jpg?v=1740670690","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/no-island-too-far-michael-brooke-9781784275495","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
