{"product_id":"9781775845713","title":"Beachcombing in South Africa","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnyone who spends time beside the sea knows there's a wealth of 'treasure' to be found, be it natural or manufactured, living or washed up. Beachcombing in South Africa  is a friendly guide to the seashore's rich pickings.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eShort chapters such as Floaters and drifters, Sea-beans, Sponges, Eggs and egg cases, and many more, detail what can be found and how to interpret or identify specimens. Items may reveal links to activities or biological events in the nearby ocean - or, perhaps, thousands of miles away. They may relate to human activities, such as fish or bird tagging, or be oceanographic instruments separated from their moorings. Or they may be part of the growing menace of flotsam and jetsam from the planet's burgeoning human population.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book will enhance the experience of beachcombing, satisfy curiosity about finds, and contribute to a better understanding of the life in our oceans and along our shores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Rudy+Van+der+Elst\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eRudy Van der Elst\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rudy Van der Elst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47376916676771,"sku":"9781775845713","price":190.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781775845713_7c3e9964-ff0a-489d-9d4f-aff90929e5b0.jpg?v=1776574626","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781775845713","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
