{"product_id":"shepherds-of-coyote-rocks-cat-urbigkit-9781581571578","title":"Shepherds of Coyote Rocks: Public Lands, Private Herds and the Natural World","description":"\u003cp\u003eCat Urbigkit journeys alone to spend a season on Wyoming's open range tending to a herd of domestic sheep as they give birth amid the challenges of nature - from severe weather to a wealth of predators. Her only companions are the livestock guardian animals (BIG dogs and a pair of burros named Bill and Hillary!) that repeatedly prove their worth in devotion to protecting the herd. Urbigkit offers interesting reflections on the role of pastoralists around the globe and on the controversial issue in the Western US of private livestock herds being run on public lands. The intimate ways in which abstract public policy plays out on the open range is eye-opening. More than a tale of herding sheep, Shepherds of Coyote Rocks is an action-packed true story that reveals the broad spectrum of the human relationship with nature, from harmony to rugged adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cat Urbigkit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1581571577\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781581571578\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Countryman Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.80w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/16\/2012 pg. 160","brand":"Cat Urbigkit","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44058603716863,"sku":"9781581571578","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c1276a12-b594-48b0-ad92-18812079cfbf.jpg?v=1685053503","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shepherds-of-coyote-rocks-cat-urbigkit-9781581571578","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
