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, and midwife and laboring mother. They will feel 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, \u003ci\u003eRespect\u003c\/i\u003e has the power to transform lives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46896641966231,"sku":"9780738203188","price":2359.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780738203188.webp?v=1770359383","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/respect-9780738203188","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
