{"product_id":"shield-country-jamie-bastedo-9780889951914","title":"Shield Country: The Life and Times of the Oldest Piece of the Planet","description":"The Canadian Shield is a distinct ecological region that forms the evergreen, granite-studded crown stretching across two-thirds of North America. In size, it approximates western Europe with one percent the number of people. A satellite view of the region on a winter's night shows tiny, widely scattered blips of light-islands of human settlement adrift in a sea of subarctic wilderness. In age, the shield's primeval bedrock dates to the beginning of earthly time. Shield Country unfolds a fascinating story of unrivaled Precambrian geology, of wild rivers and millions of pristine lakes, of an ecological junction where subarctic and arctic climates, plants, birds, and mammals weave a richly textured wilderness fabric.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jamie Bastedo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0889951918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780889951914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Red Deer Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.47h x 6.73w x 0.79d","brand":"Jamie Bastedo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440864211199,"sku":"9780889951914","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_68c297d6-0e52-4518-a24c-55d4f7f28ffa.jpg?v=1777187180","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shield-country-jamie-bastedo-9780889951914","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
