In his topical book, \u003ci\u003eFree Time\u003c\/i\u003e, Benjamin Kline Hunnicutt examines the way that progress, once defined as more of the good things in life as well as more free time to enjoy them, has come to be understood only as economic growth and more work, forevermore. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHunnicutt provides an incisive intellectual, cultural, and political history of the original \"American Dream\" from the colonial days to the present. Taking his cue from Walt Whitman's \"higher progress,\" he follows the traces of that dream, cataloging the myriad voices that prepared for and lived in an opening \"realm of freedom.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFree Time\u003c\/i\u003e reminds Americans of the forgotten, best part of the \"American Dream\"-that more and more of our lives might be lived freely, with an enriching family life, with more time to enjoy nature, friendship, and the adventures of the mind and of the spirit. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Hunnicutt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439907153\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439907153\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/11\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/19\/2012 pg. 45\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2013 pg. 125\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2013","brand":"Benjamin Hunnicutt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935009538303,"sku":"9781439907153","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_251383c5-1f55-4cc6-86f3-475918a90d9b.jpg?v=1681417325","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/free-time-benjamin-hunnicutt-9781439907153","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
