{"product_id":"the-meadowlands-robert-sullivan-9780385495080","title":"The Meadowlands: Wilderness Adventures at the Edge of a City","description":"Imagine a grungy north Jersey version of John McPhee's classic \u003cb\u003eThe Pine Barrens\u003c\/b\u003e and you'll get some idea of the idiosyncratic, fact-filled, and highly original work that is Robert Sullivan's \u003cb\u003eThe Meadowlands\u003c\/b\u003e. Just five miles west of New York City, this vilified, half-developed, half-untamed, much dumped-on, and sometimes odiferous tract of swampland is home to rare birds and missing bodies, tranquil marshes and a major sports arena, burning garbage dumps and corporate headquarters, the remains of the original Penn Station--and maybe, just, maybe, of the late Jimmy Hoffa. Robert Sullivan proves himself to be this fragile yet amazingly resilient region's perfect expolorer, historian, archaeologist, and comic bard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Sullivan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0385495080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780385495080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anchor Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/20\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/1999 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/1999 pg. 72 - Best Of The Best\/Highly Recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/05\/1999 pg. 105","brand":"Robert Sullivan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44254719738111,"sku":"9780385495080","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d6e0e75d-a444-4eec-be46-f90410dd1cf6.jpg?v=1694613981","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-meadowlands-robert-sullivan-9780385495080","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
