{"product_id":"9781450278065","title":"Exploring Austria: Vienna and Beyond","description":"The book presents Austria as a contemporary Shangri-la for all seasons in the midst of an economically challenged, war-torn world. Starting with its historical background of imperial legacy and developed over the past six centuries, readers are then taken on an exploratory tour of modern-day Austria where they experience Vienna and its environs, as well as exploring Austria farther afield and including “must-see” Austrian sights. Then the book’s premise is illustrated through twelve vignettes—personalized, off-the-beaten-track experiences—each of which captures unique features of Austria’s nine provinces (including Vienna) during all four seasons of the year—contrasting places, times and individual adventures. A complementary concept profiles experiences of different kinds—sports, culture, customs and traditions, along with Austrian culinary and wine specialties.","brand":"iUniverse, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46514794561777,"sku":"9781450278065","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781450278065_p0.jpg?v=1765997984","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781450278065","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
