{"product_id":"9781921719561","title":"Wattles","description":"The Wattle is a type of Acacia found in Australia. The Acacia pycnantha (Golden Wattle) is Australia's floral emblem. It is a tree which flowers in late winter and spring, producing a mass of fragrant, fluffy, golden flowers. To the people of Australia, the Wattle stands for \"home, country, kindred, sunshine, and love - every instinct that the heart most deeply enshrines.\" This book is a revised edition of Wattle (AGPS, 1991). With its beautiful color illustrations, the book is a celebration of 'all things Wattle.' It includes numerous Wattle Day memories, along with a brief history of the Wattle Day Association. It also contains an anthology of poems related to the Wattle. A Celebration of Wattle: Australia's National Emblem examines the botanical battle for Australia's retention of the name Acacia. It also discusses the 'Hiroshima connection' and more. *** \"A Celebration of Wattle is a treasury for botany enthusiasts and Australian patriots alike!\" - Midwest Book Review, Library Bookwatch, The Botany Shelf, July 2013","brand":"Rosenberg, David Publishing Pty, Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060947140848,"sku":"9781921719561","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781921719561_p0.jpg?v=1763631828","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781921719561","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
