{"product_id":"9781771600521","title":"Lost and Found: Adrift in the Canadian Rockies","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor many people, moving to a mountain town is the realization of a dream, the final step in a pilgrimage to a relaxed lifestyle in a rugged and beautiful setting. After a long journey that began when he was a teenager in the 1980s with the vague idea there might be a better life somewhere “out west,” Jamey Glasnovic eventually fled the chaos and stress of the big city and tried to settle into an uncomplicated Rocky Mountain existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCanmore, Alberta, a small community nestled in a picturesque valley situated right at the edge of Banff National Park, should have been the perfect end to his searching. A rapidly growing town emerging on the tourism radar can strain anyone’s definition of paradise, however, and \u003ci\u003eLost and Found\u003c\/i\u003e is Glasnovic’s account of his attempt, in the fall of 2008, to recapture the simple wonders of living on the boundaries of a vast wilderness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA spirited amble by bicycle and on foot, inspired by the work of Bill Bryson, \u003ci\u003eLost and Found\u003c\/i\u003e explores the heart of the Rocky Mountain Parks, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its staggering beauty, and examines the consequences of celebrating that beauty too effectively with mass tourism and over-ambitious development. Eschewing the convenience of motorized transportation, Glasnovic earns every kilometre that passes beneath his feet, and along the way he learns a thing or two about feeling profoundly connected to place. An experience some would describe as being home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rocky Mountain Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175215153392,"sku":"9781771600521","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781771600521_p0.jpg?v=1763707926","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781771600521","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
