{"product_id":"outer-banks-reader-david-stick-9780807847268","title":"Outer Banks Reader","description":"For half a century, David Stick has been writing books about the fragile chain of barrier islands off the North Carolina coast known as the Outer Banks. Two of his earliest, \u003ci\u003eGraveyard of the Atlantic\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Outer Banks of North Carolina\u003c\/i\u003e, were published by the UNC Press in the 1950s, and continue to be best-sellers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e More recently, Stick embarked on another project, searching for the most captivating and best-written examples of what others have said about his beloved Outer Banks. In the process, more than 1,000 books, pamphlets, periodicals, historical documents, and other writings were reviewed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The result is a rich and fascinating anthology. The selections in \u003ci\u003eAn Outer Banks Reader\u003c\/i\u003e span the course of more than four and a half centuries, from the first known record of a meeting between Europeans and Native Americans in the region in 1524 to modern-day accounts of life on the Outer Banks. Together, Stick hopes, the sixty-four entries may provide both \"outlanders\" and natives with an understanding of why the Outer Banks are home to a rapidly growing number of people who would rather spend the rest of their lives there than any place else on earth. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Stick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807847267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807847268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 1.00d","brand":"David Stick","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048345268479,"sku":"9780807847268","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b51476f2-954b-4387-b5bd-91843b26da9b.jpg?v=1684995267","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/outer-banks-reader-david-stick-9780807847268","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
