{"product_id":"9780980116533","title":"From Monks to Mountain Gorillas: A Family's Global Journey","description":"Ed Kaufman's linked memoir and travel essays sweep the reader along to coveted destinations on five continents in a fast-paced blend of adventure, humor, and poignant insights. At times the author, his wife Karen, and their young son Adam face danger – when a herd of thirsty elephants surrounds them in Zimbabwe, when Ed lands in crocodile-infested waters in Costa Rica – at other times they undertake an inner journey, participating in ancient rituals in Ethiopia, Tibet, and Papua New Guinea. The author, who has dual credentials as a psychiatrist with a MFA in creative nonfiction, brings a unique perspective to this odyssey, one courting risk yet circling back to family and home.","brand":"Forked Road Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49792034111728,"sku":"9780980116533","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780980116533","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
