{"product_id":"9781925576900","title":"Island Nurses: Stories of Birth, Life and Death on Remote Great Barrier Island","description":"Leonie Howie and Adele Robertson live and work on remote Great Barrier Island--so called because it faces the full brunt of the wild Pacific weather and acts as a barrier for the mainland about 100 kilometres away. With a population of about 1000, no reticulated electricity, no ATM machine, no street lights and one pub, this is a wildly beautiful place. It has a long history of farming, whaling and fishing, and the people who live here are a resilient lot, proud of their community. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMidwifery and nursing on a remote island bring a wide range of dramas and emergencies, and here Adele and Leonie share the islanders' stories--sometimes tragic, sometimes happy, sometimes funny--from over 30 years of challenging yet uplifting work.","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47137389215984,"sku":"9781925576900","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781925576900_p0.jpg?v=1763635225","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781925576900","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
