{"product_id":"why-we-are-here-edward-o-wilson-9780871404701","title":"Why We Are Here: Mobile and the Spirit of a Southern City","description":"Entranced by Edward O. Wilson's mesmerizing evocation of his Southern childhood in \u003cem\u003eThe Naturalist\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eAnthill\u003c\/em\u003e, Alex Harris approached the scientist about collaborating on a book about Wilson's native world of Mobile, Alabama. Perceiving that Mobile was a city small enough to be captured through a lens yet old enough to have experienced a full epic cycle of tragedy and rebirth, the photographer and the naturalist joined forces to capture the rhythms of this storied Alabama Gulf region through a swirling tango of lyrical words and breathtaking images. With Wilson tracing his family's history from the Civil War through the Depression--when mule-driven wagons still clogged the roads--to Mobile's racial and environmental struggles to its cultural triumphs today, and with Harris stunningly capturing the mood of a radically transformed city that has adapted to the twenty-first century, the book becomes a universal story, one that tells us where we all come from and why we are here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward O.
