{"product_id":"the-ur-board-book-walt-darring-9780557494903","title":"The Ur-Board Book","description":"The UR-BOARD is a priceless treasure from ancient Sumer. Discovered in the ruins of the city of Ur, where it had lain for 4.5 thousand years, it pre-dates the Bible by centuries. Yet when interpreted by a contemporary symbolist, it displays a knowledge of human life and history that is characteristically modern. Primarily a game board, with dice and markers, it is also a beautiful art object, or art \"form\"; a paradigm of human wisdom, based on the design of the human body; a mathematical and geometrical standard, with a symbolic \"magic number\" board; and a prophetic \"structure,\" that speaks to us about our historical and religious traditions. As a modern game board, it offers a unique series of movement and placement games, that can be played by two initiates in an hour or so, as a cult-experience among friends. Discover for your self the joys of learning from and playing with an Ur-board. And enjoy contemplating the vision of a future world as it is revealed by the UR-BOARD BOOK.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walt Darring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0557494907\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780557494903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.31d","brand":"Walt Darring","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48517372281087,"sku":"9780557494903","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ce02814e-a33d-4ed0-9967-2288b38f1efa.jpg?v=1778731564","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ur-board-book-walt-darring-9780557494903","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
