These sightings include bucolically littered locations such as the Niagara River Gorge (where many a cart has been pushed to its untimely death) and mundane settings that look suspiciously like a suburb near you. <BR><BR>Working in the naturalist's tradition, the photographs depict the diversity of the phenomenon and carry a surprising emotional charge; readers inevitably begin to see these carts as human, at times poignant in their abandoned, decrepit state, hilariously incapacitated, or ingeniously co-opted. The result is at once rigorous and absurd, enabling the layperson to identify and classify their own cart spottings based on the situation in which they were found. 361956 book 1 5 2006 The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America: A Guide to Field Identification total:31|5:15|4:11|3:3|2:2|1:0| 31 132 58 11 4 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Mar 14 15:45:59 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 14 15:52:36 -0700 2009 ]]> 3 0 false false Wed Nov 26 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 02 18:46:19 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 02 18:46:19 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Feb 17 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 12:30:11 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 12:30:55 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Mon Aug 27 09:34:04 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 27 14:57:38 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Wed Jan 02 12:26:47 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 02 12:28:28 -0800 2008 project involving shopping carts.
