{"product_id":"the-life-of-the-spider-jean-henri-fabre-9781530595952","title":"The Life of the Spider","description":"The Spider has a bad name: to most of us, she represents an odious, noxious animal, which every one hastens to crush under foot. Against this summary verdict the observer sets the beast's industry, its talent as a weaver, its wiliness in the chase, its tragic nuptials and other characteristics of great interest. Yes, the Spider is well worth studying, apart from any scientific reasons; but she is said to be poisonous and that is her crime and the primary cause of the repugnance wherewith she inspires us. Poisonous, I agree, if by that we understand that the animal is armed with two fangs which cause the immediate death of the little victims which it catches; but there is a wide difference between killing a Midge and harming a man. However immediate in its effects upon the insect entangled in the fatal web, the Spider's poison is not serious for us and causes less inconvenience than a Gnat-bite. That, at least, is what we can safely say as regards the great majority of the Spiders of our regions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean-Henri Fabre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1530595959\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781530595952\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.22d","brand":"Jean-Henri Fabre","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43936590004479,"sku":"9781530595952","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ea36af76-b66e-44e8-b9c2-3ba08eb252a5.jpg?v=1681426157","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-life-of-the-spider-jean-henri-fabre-9781530595952","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
