{"product_id":"dueling-alix-wood-9781433995774","title":"Dueling","description":"It wasn't that long ago that dueling was an accepted practice in many parts of the world. In fact, duels were once considered an honorable way to solve a problem. The American navy actually included the Code Duello, the rules for conducting a duel, in its handbook until 1862. Readers are introduced to the special language of dueling and the famous people who participated in duels--or narrowly avoided them--including Andrew Jackson, Edgar Allen Poe, and Alexander Hamilton. Surprising facts are highlighted in sidebars throughout the text, such as the common practice of purposefully shooting away from one's opponent. Dynamic images and illustrations transport readers back to the days of pistols drawn at dawn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alix Wood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1433995778\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781433995774\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gareth Stevens Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 7.70w x 0.10d","brand":"Alix Wood","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447881019647,"sku":"9781433995774","price":11.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_db70d399-17d3-49a1-957e-757d262953ee.jpg?v=1777235440","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dueling-alix-wood-9781433995774","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
