{"product_id":"9781468937084","title":"Global Cultures","description":"This book documents my travels through 47 countries and 149 cities over 3 years, written from a typical “Westerner’s” perspective highlighting the curious, funny, and idiosyncratic social and cultural differences that make the world such a fascinating place to explore and live in.  Written experientially, this book is a colorful and entertaining learning tool, providing unique (and at times humorous), social commentary on the politics, economics, culture and religion that make up the fabric of the world we live in.   The book as chronicled sequentially through my travel log emails over a 3 year period follows a non-predetermined path that was part instinct, part recommendation by knowledgeable people encountered along the way, across the world complete with photographs.    This book promises to be a delightful and enlightening experience for anyone fascinated by the stark differences that can sometimes result from something as arbitrary as a political line on a piece of paper.","brand":"Booktango","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47182630715632,"sku":"9781468937084","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781468937084_p0.jpg?v=1763696889","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781468937084","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
