This roller-coaster period brought the end of history, a financial crash, the rise of Trump, and a pandemic. From when to dispense advice to the young (answer: only when asked) to Atwood's views on the climate crisis, we have no better guide to the many and varied mysteries of our universe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaret Atwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 038554748X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780385547482\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Doubleday Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.58h x 6.48w x 1.43d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2021 pg. 19\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/14\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2022 pg. 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/10\/2022 pg. 1","brand":"Margaret Atwood","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054097625343,"sku":"9780385547482","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eff98000-eb17-4194-87ab-43dca4bdce11.jpg?v=1685027966","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/burning-questions-margaret-atwood-9780385547482","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
