{"product_id":"new-slow-city-william-powers-9781608682393","title":"New Slow City: Living Simply in the World's Fastest City","description":"Burned-out after years of doing development work around the world, William Powers spent a season in a 12-foot-by-12-foot cabin off the grid in North Carolina, as recounted in his award-winning memoir \u003ci\u003eTwelve by Twelve\u003c\/i\u003e. Could he live a similarly minimalist life in the heart of New York City? To find out, Powers and his wife jettisoned 80 percent of their stuff, left their 2,000-square-foot Queens townhouse, and moved into a 350-square-foot \"micro-apartment\" in Greenwich Village. Downshifting to a two-day workweek, Powers explores the viability of Slow Food and Slow Money, technology fasts and urban sanctuaries. Discovering a colorful cast of New Yorkers attempting to resist the culture of Total Work, Powers offers an inspiring exploration for anyone trying to make urban life more people- and planet-friendly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Powers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1608682390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781608682393\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New World Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e IndieFab awards - Gold Medal Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2014 pg. 5","brand":"William Powers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991695524095,"sku":"9781608682393","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7ae6b5b8-5a4e-4064-89c3-2612bb1279c4.jpg?v=1683311697","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/new-slow-city-william-powers-9781608682393","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
