{"product_id":"no-island-too-far-michael-brooke-9781784275921","title":"No Island Too Far: Searching for Seabirds on Remote Specks of Land","description":"Throughout 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Brooke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784275921\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784275921\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pelagic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs","brand":"Michael Brooke","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48446989697279,"sku":"9781784275921","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2a4d9193-5504-4f90-b8d3-b4e15b6d6fec.jpg?v=1777228089","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/no-island-too-far-michael-brooke-9781784275921","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
