{"product_id":"porcupines-politicians-and-plato-dan-kishkan-9780920576489","title":"Porcupines, Politicians and Plato","description":"These wildly funny articles, observations of life in the tiny village of Nazko in the Cariboo-Chilcotin, were first published in the \u003ci\u003eQuesnel Cariboo Observer\u003c\/i\u003e. Just about everyone in the Cariboo started out as babies when they were quite young, which gives Kishkan a lot of material right there. The other subjects of these real-life stories range from thieving packrats, to provincial bureaucrats, to American hunters in fluorescent orange, to fishing yarns, with a bit of homespun philosophy thrown in. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Dan Kishkan started growing up in Victoria, the Fraser Valley and Nova Scotia, and is now trying to complete the process in BC's Nazko Valley, where he lives with his wife Linda and their children. The family shares a farrn with a changing assortment of cows, horses, pigs, sheep, turkeys, chickens, geese and ducks. Kishkan is principal and teacher at Nazko School, and his articles have been published in the Quesnel Cariboo Observer for four years. He enjoys fishing, motorcycle riding, canoeing, quiet contemplation, and \"avoiding places farther off the ground than I'd feel comfortable falling from.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan Kishkan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0920576486\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780920576489\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Caitlin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.98w x 0.49d","brand":"Dan Kishkan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483742941439,"sku":"9780920576489","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_da2afa64-1d59-4420-817e-51dbaabb1bd9.jpg?v=1778040361","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/porcupines-politicians-and-plato-dan-kishkan-9780920576489","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
