{"product_id":"book-dohs","title":"Indica: A Deep Natural History of the Indian Subcontinent","description":"The first definitive natural history of the Indian subcontinent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Did you know that the exquisite caves of Ellora were hewn from rock formed   in the greatest lava floods the world has known—eruptions so enormous that   they may well have obliterated dinosaurs? Or that Bengaluru owes its unique   climate to a tectonic event that took place 88 million years ago? That the   Ganga and Brahmaputra sequester nearly 20 per cent of global carbon, and   their sediments over millions of years have etched submarine canyons in the   Bay of Bengal that are larger than the Grand Canyon? Ever heard of   Rajasaurus, an Indian dinosaur which was perhaps more ferocious than T rex?   Many such amazing facts and discoveries—from 70-million-year-old crocodile   eggs in Mumbai to the nesting ground of dinosaurs near Ahmedabad—are a part   of Indica: A Deep Natural History of the Indian Subcontinent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Researching across wide-ranging scientific disciplines and travelling with   scientists all over the country, biochemist Pranay Lal has woven together the   first compelling narrative of India’s deep natural history, filled with   fierce reptiles, fantastic dinosaurs, gargantuan mammals and amazing plants.   This story, which includes a rare collection of images, illustrations and   maps, starts at the very beginning—from the time when a galactic swirl of   dust coalesced to become our life-giving planet—and ends with the arrival of   our ancestors on the banks of the Indus. Pranay Lal tells this story with   verve, lucidity and an infectious enthusiasm that comes from his deep,   abiding love of nature.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49329095508272,"sku":"BDdohs","price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/538398-dohs-Square.jpg?v=1733735143","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-dohs","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
