{"product_id":"9781491796368","title":"Singing in the Life Boats: Some Poems, Rambles, and Rantsand a Few Lyrics","description":"Singing in the Lifeboats expresses my views on aging, environmental concerns, religion and a variety of other themes. The one common thread throughout is the task we have for creating the meaning and purpose in our lives. I’ve included what I call “rambles” – short philosophoical observations. In addition I’ve indulged myself in “rants” -  full throttle screeds on subjects that really annoy me, particularly the arrogance and smugness of “true believers”. In addition, there is a section of some of my song lyrics with the website where songs can be sampled and downloaded. I’d like to think that what I’ve written is accessible to most readers; the testimonies on the front of the book prove that.","brand":"iUniverse, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47131790967024,"sku":"9781491796368","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781491796368_p0.jpg?v=1763660091","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781491796368","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
