It is a powerful, timely, and wholly original book which comes at a time when nature has never needed it more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56449767375222,"sku":"9781444792799","price":10.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_35663812.jpg?v=1760446670","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781444792799-the-moth-snowstorm","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
