No two stories in Light without Heat are the same, yet all of them work toward sharing human experience in new, innovative ways.","brand":"University of Alabama Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128983634160,"sku":"9781573668309","price":9.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781573668309_p0.jpg?v=1763795133","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781573668309","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
