{"product_id":"the-great-beach-9780393009835","title":"The Great Beach","description":"Cape Cod's vast outer coast, named The Great Beach by Henry David Thoreau, is little changed since the Pilgrim's first landfall almost 350 years ago. Today a plane can skim its fifty miles in a matter of seconds, and in the summer bathing areas are so crowded with cars and people they take on a continental flavor. But the long, desolate, windswept stretches can still be found, and the National Park Service has been taking steps to preserve the original character of the beach and its rolling dunes back from the water, designating it a National Seashore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHay, John:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Hay\u003c\/strong\u003e (1915-2011) was the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Run\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Undiscovered Country\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Immortal Wilderness\u003c\/i\u003e, and other books on nature.","brand":"W.
