{"product_id":"bird-school","title":"Bird School","description":"\u003cp\u003eClose to Adam Nicolson’s home in Sussex, there is a forgotten field overrun by bracken and thicketed by brambles. It is the haunt of deer and many birds—nightingales, the occasional cuckoo, ravens, robins, owls, and in summer, the sweet-singing warblers that come north from Africa to breed in English woods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWanting to look and listen, to return to “bird school” and see what it might teach him, Nicolson built a small shed among the trees, a kind of man-sized birdhouse he calls an “absorbatory,” complete with nesting boxes and bird feeders. Cocooned inside season after season, he got to know the birds: where they nest, how they sing, how they mate and fight, what preys on them, what they are like as living things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWoven through with philosophy, literature, science, and a sense of wonder, always conscious that this is an age in which the natural world is under siege, Bird School pulls back the curtain on seemingly ordinary birds, taking a long, careful, and concerned look at our relationship with the wild.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51195378565408,"sku":"61571","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/4093\/5712\/files\/61571.jpg?v=1774305988","url":"https:\/\/watsonkennedy.com\/products\/bird-school","provider":"Watson Kennedy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
