{"product_id":"equinox-life-love-and-birds-of-prey-9780803234598","title":"Equinox: Life, Love, and Birds of Prey","description":"The South Dakota winter gives a man time to think. One subzero morning, as Dan O'Brien approaches his fiftieth year, the autumnal equinox of his life, he takes stock. Feeling a waning sense of purpose, he decides to devote himself entirely, for the first time in his life, to his greatest loves--falconry, his bird dogs, and the prairie he calls home. That summer he obtains a remarkable falcon chick who immediately distinguishes herself by her ferocity. He names the bird Harley and trains her in the ways of falconry. Harley's powers of flight are awe-inspiring, her hunting success astounding, and like a lover, she captivates him. O'Brien hunts with her obsessively, reveling in her prowess and beauty. What he learns from her and from what happens one wind-driven day lead him to see fully things he had only just begun to glimpse. In this lyrical evocation of the grasslands, \u003ci\u003eEquinox\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of a life lived close to the natural cycles of the earth and of a midlife revelation of the importance of staying connected to all things held dear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan O'Brien\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.46h x 5.56w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803234598\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDan O'Brien is the author of numerous novels and memoirs, including \u003ci\u003eStolen Horses\u003c\/i\u003e, available in a Bison Books edition, as well as \u003ci\u003eBuffalo for the Broken Heart: Restoring Life to a Black Hills Ranch\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Contract Surgeon\u003c\/i\u003e, winners of the Western Heritage Award for best nonfiction in 2001 and for best fiction in 1999, respectively. \u003ci\u003eBuffalo for the Broken Heart\u003c\/i\u003e was selected as the 2009 One Book South Dakota winner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bison Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40191885541491,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_3b19935b-3fbb-4c0f-b91e-a154c02820ed.jpg?v=1655906466","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/equinox-life-love-and-birds-of-prey-9780803234598","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
