{"product_id":"lone-wolf","title":"Lone Wolf","description":"\u003cp\u003e''A wolf''s footsteps, followed; a continent''s faultlines, traced: Adam Weymouth has made a formidable, thousand-mile foot-journey, both in the tracks of a wolf and into the heart of human-animal relations in contemporary Europe -- and written an exceptional book about it. His prose has a glinting precision of analysis and evocation to it; his intense curiosity and empathy extend across species boundaries as well towards people and landscapes'' \u003cb\u003eRobert Macfarlane, author of UNDERLAND\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e''A bold, beautiful, confronting journey charting a continent buckling under social and environmental pressure.

Tracked by GPS, he travelled a thousand miles through the Alps, arriving four months later on the Lessinian plateau, north of Verona. There had been no wolves in northern Italy for a century, but here he crossed paths with a female wolf on a walkabout of her own. A decade later and there are more than a hundred wolves back in the area, the result of their remarkable meeting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLone Wolf\u003c\/i\u003e, Weymouth walks Slavc''s path, examining the changes facing these wild corners of Europe. Here, the call to rewild meets the urge to preserve culture; nationalism and globalisation pull apart; climate change is radically changing lives; and migrants, too, are on the move.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe result is a multifaceted account of a region caught in a moment of kaleidoscopic flux, from an award-winning writer with a uniquely perceptive eye for detail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003ePRAISE FOR ADAM WEYMOUTH\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e''A really outstanding new contemporary British voice'' Andrew Holgate, \u003ci\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e''Adam Weymouth takes his place beside the great travel writers like Chatwin, Thubron, Leigh Fermor, in one bound'' Susan Hill, DBE\u003cbr\u003e''Dazzling'' Kamila Shamsie\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57395710394750,"sku":"NW9781529151947","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781529151947.jpg?v=1778673457","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/lone-wolf","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
