{"product_id":"slow-living-wendy-parkins-9781845201609","title":"Slow Living","description":"Speed is the essence of the modern era, but our faster, more frenetic lives often trouble us and leave us wondering how we are meant to live in today's world. Slow Living explores the philosophy and politics of 'slowness' as it investigates the growth of Slow Food into a worldwide, 'eco-gastronomic' movement. Originating in Italy, Slow Food is not only committed to the preservation of traditional cuisines and sustainable agriculture but also the pleasures of the table and a slower approach to life in general. Craig and Parkins argue that slow living is a complex response to processes of globalization. It connects ethics and pleasure, the global and the local, as part of a new emphasis on everyday life in contemporary culture and politics. The 'global everyday' is not a simple tale of speed and geographical dislocation. Instead, we all negotiate different times and spaces that make our quality of life and an 'ethics of living' more pressing concerns. This innovative book shows how slow living is about the challenges of living a more mindful and pleasurable life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wendy Parkins, Geoffrey Craig\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845201604\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845201609\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berg 3pl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.12w x 0.43d","brand":"Wendy Parkins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938930622719,"sku":"9781845201609","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_fcea56fa-fd47-4f85-b644-3c5b651a9b64.jpg?v=1681438518","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/slow-living-wendy-parkins-9781845201609","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
