The collection has been a science project in its study of memory, in the calculation and plotting of the moments that make up a childhood. The preparation has been \"in the field\" in that it is built upon the gathering of lived experience; the evidence is photo albums, family interviews, and anecdotes from friends. The project has been one giant experiment--to see if they can all make it out alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 152\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 7.9 x 5.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 20, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47184709124345,"sku":"9781597096911","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/eVJJcXhsNXFuRmJKVStDZFo5Q1JNZz09.webp?v=1767798354","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-perpetual-motion-machine-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
