An ancient country, one filled with beauty, yet harsh, remote, and containing mysteries that still baffle the greatest minds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJack and Jude have travelled the remoter parts of Earth for more than forty years. Land trips across America and Europe were followed by a honeymoon trek from England to South Africa. Travelling to Australia in 1969, they homebuilt a ferrocement yacht while starting a family. That took three years of arduous work and their sons Jason and Jerome were walking by the time it was completed, so they grabbed the dream of sharing nature and adventure before what seemed mandatory school years. Miraculously their journey lasted not the one-year imagined, but the next fifteen. In ever increasing circles, the \u003cem\u003eFour J's\u003c\/em\u003e explored Earth, touching 80 countries while they boat-schooled their sons to the final year of high school.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJack and Jude are grandparents now, and still aboard the same vessel have just circumnavigated Australia. In their lifetime, mankind has dominated the wild kingdom, taking what's wanted, leaving less for every creature. In doing this, the balance of Nature has been upset. And while no one would deny the improvements enjoyed today, Jack and Jude often wonder if such a growing impact isn't robbing all Earth's creatures of a better life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComparing today's world with what they had seen on previous travels their stories are peppered with historical notes woven into the adventurous fabric of two grandparents alone, manning a powerful sailing craft through some of the world's most dangerous waters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Binder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0980872014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780980872019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tujays\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/22\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.65d","brand":"Jack Binder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483759980799,"sku":"9780980872019","price":22.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dd900415-e5a8-4ca4-b16c-329f27f005b4.jpg?v=1778040467","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/twos-a-crew-jack-binder-9780980872019","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
