{"product_id":"9780571363513","title":"The Stubborn Light of Things","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Londoner for over 20 years, moving from flat to Tube to air-conditioned office, Melissa Harrison knew what it was to be insulated from the seasons. Adopting a dog and going on daily walks helped reconnect her with the cycle of the year and the quiet richness of nature all around her: swifts nesting in a nearby church; ivy-leaved toadflax growing out of brick walls; the first blackbird's song; an exhilarating glimpse of a hobby over Tooting Common. Moving from scrappy city verges to ancient, rural Suffolk, where Harrison eventually relocates, this diary - compiled from her beloved 'Nature Notebook' column in 'The Times' - maps her joyful engagement with the natural world and demonstrates how we must first learn to see, and then act to preserve, the beauty we have on our doorsteps.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Melissa \/ Harrison","offer_id":39752485011521,"sku":"9780571363513","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1208\/4146\/products\/9780571363513.jpg?v=1644845858","url":"https:\/\/chepstowbooks.co.uk\/products\/9780571363513","provider":"Chepstow Books \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
