{"product_id":"9781789141382","title":"In Praise of the Bicycle by Teresa Fagan","description":"This is the French anthropologist as we've never heard him before: Marc Aug? coined the term `non-place' to describe  uniquitous, global airports, hotels and motorways filled with anonymous individuals. In this new book, he casts his anthropologist's eye on a subject close to his heart: cycling. In In Praise of the Bicycle, Aug? takes us on a personal journey of his own, on a two-wheeled ride around our cities, and on a journey into ourselves. We all remember the thrill of riding a bike for the first time and the joys of cycling. Here he reminds us that these memories are not just personal, but rooted in a time and a place, in a history that is shared with millions of others.   Part memoir, part manifesto, Aug? celebrates cycling as a way of reconnecting with the places in which we live, and, ultimately, as a necessary alternative to our disconnected world.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56306769363317,"sku":"9781789141382","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781789141382.jpg?v=1762801926","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781789141382","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
