Marc Augé coined the term \"non-place\" to describe the ubiquitous airports, hotels, and motorways filled with anonymous individuals. In this new book, he casts his anthropologist's eye on a subject close to his heart: cycling. With \u003ci\u003eIn Praise of the Bicycle\u003c\/i\u003e, Augé takes us on a two-wheeled ride around our cities and on a personal journey into ourselves. We all remember the thrill of riding a bike for the first time and the joys of cycling. Here he reminds us that these memories are not just personal, but rooted in a time and a place, in a history that is shared with millions of others. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Part memoir, part manifesto, Augé's book celebrates cycling as a way of reconnecting with the places in which we live, and, ultimately, as a necessary alternative to our disconnected world.","brand":"Reaktion Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45035685576855,"sku":"9781789141382","price":1210.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781789141382.webp?v=1769212153","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/in-praise-of-the-bicycle-9781789141382","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
