{"product_id":"the-future-of-wales-rhys-thomas-9781911545637","title":"The Future of Wales","description":"Wales is a nation of contradictions. It boasts incredible natural resources and crushing poverty; fierce patriotism and a stark north\/south divide; an energy surplus, and some of the highest bills in the UK. It also has a famously rugby-mad culture - but its football team are lighting up international tournaments. So what's going on? And how might Wales look in decades to come? Rhys Thomas hails from Laugharne - the village on which, it is rumoured, Dylan Thomas based Under Milk Wood's 'Llareggub' (read it backwards). In this affectionate investigation into his home country - via Welsh geography, food, culture and sport - he aims for the heart of its contrasts. In doing so, Thomas builds a mosaic-like image of how Wales looks today - and how it might look in the future.","brand":"Melville House UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51200677511456,"sku":"9781911545637","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781911545637.jpg?v=1781198292","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/the-future-of-wales-rhys-thomas-9781911545637","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
