{"product_id":"9780986372117","title":"The World at Large - Book 1: Carpe Diem","description":"The following is an account of my journeys throughout the world. What started off as a couple of months to get away for an adventure turned into a ten-year journey of learning, enlightenment, hard times, and moments that will never leave me, including times of joy, sorrow, love, pain, near-death experiences, and experiences nearly worth dying for. During that time, I travelled to over 60 countries, set foot on every continent, including Antarctica; worked in over half a dozen countries; and saw relics from ancient civilisations and technological marvels of the modern world. I saw the highest peak on earth, the lowest valley, and so much in between. I visited places where they had never seen a white man before and countries ruled by governances ranging from democracies to theocracies to military regimes. I saw the cruelty that humanity can have for each other as well as the love that can bind us all. I fell in love, had my heart broken a few times, and broke a few hearts of my own. ~Carpe Diem","brand":"WALB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47021077102832,"sku":"9780986372117","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780986372117_p0.jpg?v=1763897007","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780986372117","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
