{"product_id":"pilgrim-at-tinker-creek","title":"Pilgrim at Tinker Creek","description":"What is the true nature of Nature? Is it a harmonious, interconnected system, operating according to the principles of co-dependence and benevolence? Or is it red in tooth and claw, an unfeeling, unthinking force, in which the individual is overwhelmed and subsumed to serve a larger purpose, one mysterious and obscure? This is what this volume is all about: an exploration into the nature of Nature, an attempt to discover the true character of the natural world around us. Appropriately, it is neither a rapturous celebration of Nature, nor a grim survey of its various cruelties. Rather, like Nature itself, it is something in between, and something quite beautiful. It is a collection of related essays recounting the author's thoughts on Nature as she observes the ecological happenings of the eponymous Tinker Creek in Virginia's Blue Ridge valley for a period of several years.","brand":"OUATB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48496453845247,"sku":"*R0105188*","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0487\/5550\/7364\/files\/18417853482209.jpg?v=1778267671","url":"https:\/\/shop.onceuponatimebooks.com\/products\/pilgrim-at-tinker-creek","provider":"Once Upon a Time Books AR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
