{"product_id":"our-place-kevin-van-tighem-9781771602037","title":"Our Place: Changing the Nature of Alberta","description":"Naturalist, hunter, conservation activist and recovering bureaucrat Kevin Van Tighem explores the landscapes and wildlife of one of Canada's most diverse and beautiful provinces and the ways in which Albertans have often failed -- and sometimes succeeded -- at the challenge of sustaining their home place. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePreviously published writings are mixed with current reflections on the streams, forests, grasslands and mountains of a Canadian province whose ambivalence about the nature of place, the responsibilities of citizens and the temptations of resource-based prosperity continues to mar the landscape and raise questions about the future. Challenging, eye-opening, instructive and soul-searching, this collection nonetheless delivers an overriding message of hope and possibilities. Alberta is our place now; we can still sustain the best of it, and bring out the best in ourselves, if we choose to know it well and care for it better.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kevin Van Tighem\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771602031\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771602037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rocky Mountain Books Incorporated\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/02\/2017","brand":"Kevin Van Tighem","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125345513727,"sku":"9781771602037","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b6c98dbb-5b87-4335-b17c-ad661fb6f131.jpg?v=1687442090","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/our-place-kevin-van-tighem-9781771602037","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
