{"product_id":"popova-maria-traversal","title":"Popova, Maria - Traversal","description":"From the Marginalian creator and bestselling author\nMaria Popova, a bold exploration of what makes a\nmeaningful life\nIn Traversal, Maria Popova traverses the border between life and death,\nchance and choice, chemistry and consciousness: what makes a body a person?\nWhat makes a planet a world? How do we safeguard our love of truth\nfrom our lust for power? What slakes our longings and what redeems our\nlosses?\nPopova illuminates our various instruments of reckoning with these questions\n- our telescopes and our treatises, our postulates and our poems - through the\nintertwined lives, loves and legacies of visionaries both celebrated and sidelined\nby history, people born into the margins of their time and place who\nlived to write the future: Mary Shelley, Walt Whitman, Frederick Douglass,\nFanny Wright. Woven throughout their stories are other threads - the decoding\nof the insulin molecule, the invention of the bicycle, how nature creates\nblue - which come together to create a rich tapestry of life's meaning; exploring\nwhat it is that makes life alive and worth living.\nBy turns epic and intimate, Traversal explores the universe between cells and\nsouls to reveal the world, and our lives, in a dazzling new light.","brand":"Canongate Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardback Book","offer_id":50907755806998,"sku":"RMX-59993","price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/fb49974276429fe5fc271d64fc1b035e.jpg?v=1767708526","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/popova-maria-traversal","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
