Curtsinger","description":"\u003cp\u003eMillions of years ago ancient New Zealand was part of a huge land mass called Gondwanaland. As this supercontinent gradually broke up, the small fragment that became New Zealand was launched into the southern oceans with many early forms of the plants and animals that today give the country much of its distinctive character. The great beech forests of the South Island and the kauri forests of the North, the remarkable tuatara and the familiar weta - all have survived over the millennia on these isolated islands.   Like so many other New Zealand species, they retain today close links with the plants and animals that once inhabited Gondwanaland. The islands of New Zealand are a unique biological storehouse, making an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the world's natural history.  This book offers a sensitive account of a country with a remarkable heritage. All those who love the natural landscape of New Zealand will find it richly evocative and informative.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41795857317962,"sku":"1444yb","price":13.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/1451aa_1_7b8e6004-e8aa-4334-9d41-e2a764c10366.jpg?v=1764148420"},{"product_id":"life-on-earth-by-david-attenborough-567af","title":"Life on Earth (Book Club Associates) by David Attenborough","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41795861971018,"sku":"567af","price":8.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/567af_e9c4f203-c26f-40cc-99d7-f3672f3f48c3.jpg?v=1765564729"},{"product_id":"two-in-the-bush-by-gerald-durrell-2047au","title":"Two in the bush by Gerald Durrell","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41795864232010,"sku":"2047au","price":10.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/Book-Express-No-Image-Main_58e421ef-f7b5-4214-8a4d-c9e80e77c827.png?v=1764148602"},{"product_id":"new-zealand-endangered-species-birds-bats-reptiles-freshwater-fishes-snails-insects-by-ronald-m-lockley-4227ah","title":"New Zealand endangered species: birds, bats, reptiles, freshwater fishes, snails and insects by Ronald M.

It comes at me in all forms, suddenly and with enormous impact, from making shifts in work to having and raising a kid to buying a cabin on a distant mountaintop. Sometimes, change comes on four legs.   In his popular and widely praised Running to the Mountain, Jon Katz wrote of the strength and support he found in the massive forms of his two yellow Labrador retrievers, Julius and Stanley. When the Labs were six and seven, a breeder who'd read his book contacted Katz to say she had a dog that was meant for him--a two-year-old border collie named Devon, well bred but high-strung and homeless. Katz already had a full canine complement, but instinct overruled reason, and soon thereafter he brought Devon home.  A Dog Year: Twelve Months, Four Dogs, and Me is the story of how Devon and Jon--and Julius and Stanley--came to terms with each other. It shows how a man discovered a lot about himself through one dog (and then another) whose temperament seemed as different from his own as day is from night. It is a story of trust and understanding, of life and death, of continuity and change. It is by turns insightful, hilarious, and deeply moving.  Editorial Reviews  Review This gentle book is a great reminder-as if anybody needed one-of what animals can mean to people at particular times in life. -The Atlanta Journal-Constitution  Moving, funny . . . This is a loveable mutt of a book. -Chicago Tribune  Part cautionary tale, part love story, A Dog Year reminds us that adopting a pet is a massive responsibility but one that rewards the owner with a richer, more meaningful life. -Los Angeles Times  From the Inside Flap Sometimes, change comes on four legs.

When the Labs were six and seven, a breeder who?d read his book contacted Katz to say she had a dog that was meant for him?a two-year-old border collie named Devon, well bred but high-strung and homeless. Katz already had a full canine complement?but, as he writes, ?Change loves me. . . . It comes in all forms. . . . Sometimes, change comes on four legs.? Shortly thereafter he brought Devon home. A Dog Year shows how a man discovered much about himself through one dog (and then another), whose temperament seemed as different from his own as day from night. It is a story of trust and understanding, of life and death, of continuity and change. It is by turns insightful, hilarious, and deeply moving.  From the Back Cover Sometimes, change comes on four legs.
