Although the scale of time and space in some of the pieces is immense, individual characters still manage to leave their marks; even though the force of modern civilization sometimes seems overwhelming, small places and their key components somehow persevere.These are the genesis stories of a region. In Ancient Places, Jack Nisbet uncovers touchstones across the Pacific Northwest that reveal the symbiotic relationship of people and place in this corner of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51974227656992,"sku":"NEW1632170809","price":23.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91DsKq7cWuL._SL1200_QL70.jpg?v=1785803679","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/ancient-places-people-and-landscape-in-the-emerging-northwest-1632170809","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
