{"product_id":"the-heart-of-tracking","title":"The Heart of Tracking","description":"Originally published in recurring dispatches for a small town newspaper  this collection of essays by noted California naturalist Richard Vacha reads like a delighted field journal  full of insights into the mystic  sensory  and nearly-forgotten world of animal tracking. Through a series of outings  Vacha traverses the prismatic experience of tracking and brings it to our level. Practical investigations of signs and tracks draw close to the lives of all the animals in his landscape  including bobcats  badgers  skunks  coyotes  and one particular vulture. With spontaneous energy  Vachas essays reveal the practice of asking sacred questions  and the process of stripping down to your senses in order to enter this primal awareness. Literary Nonfiction. California Interest. Religion \u0026amp; Spirituality.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44608466223157,"sku":"ByrdShop_0996246754","price":262.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_0996246754.jpg?v=1752855757","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-heart-of-tracking","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
