{"product_id":"uncivilisation","title":"Uncivilisation By Allsop  Nigel","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eUncivilisation\u003c\/em\u003e is the story of a lifetime – not an autobiography, a social commentary or a diary, but a blend of all three. It tells of an ordinary life, bookended by a modest upbringing as an only child in industrial Sheffield and contented retirement with three grandchildren in rural Oxfordshire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong the way, it takes a critical look at the deterioration in our behaviours over seventy years, taking examples from the author’s personal life and from the wider world in the event-rich decade it has taken to complete the work. The style is somewhat unique, sometimes tongue-in-cheek and sometimes vitriolic, but always thoughtful, self-effacing and easy-to-read. The chapters are organised both chronologically and by subject matter, ending with some conclusions, a possible way forward and a postscript that brings the content right up to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eUncivilisation\u003c\/em\u003e is written in part for disillusioned British people, in part as an expression of intense frustration with the state of our country and, in no less a part, for the author’s grandchildren, so they will remember the grandad that loved them so dearly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58336365937022,"sku":"NW9781806346936","price":11.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781806346936.jpg?v=1793584298","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/uncivilisation","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
