{"product_id":"9781772123005","title":"The Dragon Run: Two Canadians, Ten Bhutanese, One Stray Dog","description":"\u003cp\u003eTony Robinson-Smith could hardly imagine that he, his wife, ten Bhutanese college students, and a stray dog would end up running 578 kilometres (360 miles) across the Himalayas. In early 2006, he arrived in the Kingdom of Bhutan to work as a university lecturer. A casual conversation with his wife led to the creation of the \"Tara-thon,\" a sponsored run to send village kids to school for Tarayana, the Queen Mother’s non-profit foundation. In Bhutan—the country that originated the concept of Gross National Happiness—Robinson-Smith discovered he had much to learn. His memoir portrays Bhutan and its people in rich detail at a transformative moment of the Kingdom’s history. Touching and insightful, \u003ci\u003eThe Dragon Run\u003c\/i\u003e is the perfect book for inveterate explorers, adventure sports enthusiasts, and armchair travelers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWayfarer Series\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Alberta Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47047141261552,"sku":"9781772123005","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781772123005_p0.jpg?v=1763708871","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781772123005","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
