{"product_id":"north-to-katahdin-eric-pinder-9781571312808","title":"North to Katahdin","description":"When Thoreau ventured into the Maine woods in 1846, he was one of a handful who did so simply to see what was there. Now, hundreds of thousands of people pursue \"the wildest country\" either for itself, as Thoreau did, or as the terminus of the Appalachian Trail. Using Mount Katahdin as his lab, Eric Pinder contemplates what draws people to the mountains. Are the urbanites trekking the trails with cell phones, synthetic fabrics, and GPS units having remotely the same experience that Thoreau did? Pinder's interviews with these hikers create a vivid portrait of the communion with nature they seek, and of the world they are trying to escape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Pinder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1571312803\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781571312808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Milkweed Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/23\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.54h x 5.48w x 0.53d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2005 pg. 165\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKliatt\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2006 pg. 41","brand":"Eric Pinder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078436614399,"sku":"9781571312808","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_60094976-4a28-48e7-b015-c9a6b79b023d.jpg?v=1685475504","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/north-to-katahdin-eric-pinder-9781571312808","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
