{"product_id":"the-bridge-between-worlds-9781805300137","title":"The Bridge Between Worlds","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn a world increasingly preoccupied by borders, bridges celebrate the possibility of connection, allowing the flow of goods, people and ideas. Bridges are among our grandest physical structures with the power of transforming lives and economies, but we also stand (or fall) upon the simple arch of bones in our feet. Text is a bridge between writer and reader, and conversation builds bridges of understanding between minds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr Gavin Francis has spent his life fascinated by the power of bridges to improve human connection. In \u003ci\u003eThe Bridge Between Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e he examines bridges both actual and metaphorical, on a journey through more than twenty countries, across four decades of travel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom Rome's Ponte Sant'Angelo to Brooklyn, Victoria Falls to London, Singapore to Siberia, this thought-provoking book reflects on connections between nations and between individuals. Francis demonstrates what the building of bridges has meant to our civilisation, how crossings can enrich our lives, and the price we pay when we tear them down.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gavin Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48281364496635,"sku":"9781805300137","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781805300137_c2d792c3-6f13-4dfb-b56f-ed5913f8a7a0.jpg?v=1772487119","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-bridge-between-worlds-9781805300137","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
