{"product_id":"1518839","title":"Respect: An Exploration","description":"243 pp. \"A stunningly original treasure of a book that reveals the single most powerful ingredient in any relationship, whether personal, professional, or in public life. In these many-layered and masterfully written portraits, Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot reaches deep into human experience-from the drama of birth to the solemn vigil before death-to find the essence of respect. In her moving vision, relayed through powerfully told stories, respect is not the passive deference offered a superior but an active force that creates symmetry even in unequal relationships. The reader becomes an eyewitness to the remarkable empowering nature of respect, both given and received- be it between doctor and patient, teacher and student, photographer and subject, or midwife and laboring mother. One feels it in the reverent attention paid by a minister to the last moments of life, and in the Harvard Law School professor's lively curiosity about his student's extracurricular lives. Through the power of her narrative, Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot ultimately makes the reader an intimate partner in her observations of respect linking these varied and intense relationships. A book to be savored and shared, Respect has the power to transform lives.\"\r\n","brand":"Perseus \/ Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12594787090502,"sku":"1518839","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/1518839","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
