{"product_id":"rare-wondrous-things-alyse-bensel-9781732743403","title":"Rare Wondrous Things: A Poetic Biography of Maria Sibylla Merian","description":"A poetic biography of Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717), Rare Wondrous Things investigates the history of this German artist and naturalist who made groundbreaking discoveries in entomology. While Merian led an exceptional life--even traveling to Suriname at fifty-two years old in the pursuit of knowledge--her name has largely remained in obscurity, and her personal life is still shrouded in mystery. These poems recover her legacy by exploring the tensions between science and religion, professional aspirations and motherhood, wifehood and independence, and biographer and subject.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alyse Bensel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1732743401\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781732743403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Green Writers Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/21\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.20d","brand":"Alyse Bensel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078610383103,"sku":"9781732743403","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_df9ddfc7-bfe1-4894-959a-5749b6ddbf4d.jpg?v=1685476486","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rare-wondrous-things-alyse-bensel-9781732743403","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
