{"product_id":"2940170614240","title":"To See Every Bird on Earth: A Father, a Son, and a Lifelong Obsession","description":"Richard Koeppel¿s obsession began at age twelve, in Queens, New York, when he first spotted a Brown Thrasher, and jotted the sighting in a notebook. Several decades, one failed marriage, and two sons later, he set out to see every bird on earth, becoming a member of a subculture of competitive bird watchers worldwide all pursuing the same goal. Over twenty-five years, he collected over seven thousand species, becoming one of about ten people ever to do so.  To See Every Bird on Earth explores the thrill of this chase, a crusade at the expense of all else¿for the sake of making a check in a notebook. A riveting glimpse into a fascinating subculture, the book traces the love, loss, and reconnection between a father and son, and explains why birds are so critical to the human search for our place in the world.","brand":"Recorded Books, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47105068302576,"sku":"2940170614240","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170614240_p0.jpg?v=1763714256","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170614240","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
