{"product_id":"the-polymath-breo-gorst-9781716582448","title":"The Polymath: An Iconoclast's Relation to the World","description":"As 6-year-old Elliott sits on his mother's knee, she explains to him that, to be a specialist in life, you need to know more and more about less and less, till eventually you can't be understood by anyone. He says in astonishment: \"Well, I want to be a General Specialist, then!\" This book is about Elliot's progress through life to become a General Specialist, odd though that oxymoron may be. Along the way, he hits upon real friendships. Via doctoring, he becomes a specialist advisor across politics, arts, security, entertainment, invention, environment and economics, yet is never honoured for his work. His marriage a fiasco, his friendships a joy, his travels a marvel, his home and cars an intriguing wonder, he remains an enigma to all - except you, his reader.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Breo Gorst\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 171658244X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781716582448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/25\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.53d","brand":"Breo Gorst","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485886689535,"sku":"9781716582448","price":19.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_61151eef-5376-44b3-9f8b-cebe5e144b0b.jpg?v=1778052273","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-polymath-breo-gorst-9781716582448","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
