{"product_id":"fearful-nature","title":"Fearful Nature","description":"\u003cp\u003eShy Will Smiley worries about many things: conspiracy theories; his unreliable bowels; other human beings. At the provincial natural history museum where he works, patching up the crumbling dioramas, Will avoids people. Back home, alone, he views the world through his microscope and creates miniature works of art with things foraged from nature. But when changes in his plant and insect specimens point to imminent ecological collapse, Will's fearful nature faces an unwelcome test: speak up and attract public attention or retreat further from society and prepare for the approaching disaster... The choice he makes is the impetus for a journey of discovery both physical and emotional, a voyage to people and places unimagined, and to the roots of his insecurity itself.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eExploring themes of environmental damage, mental health and the healing power of art and science, 'Fearful Nature' shines a contemporary light on the search for happiness in an unsettling world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksWholesale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44221685235873,"sku":"9781678031473","price":31.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/eg77gz-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1713671496","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/fearful-nature","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
