{"product_id":"slow-reading-john-miedema-9780980200447","title":"Slow Reading","description":"Slow Reading examines the research in voluntary slow reading, from the earliest references in religion and philosophy, to the practice of close reading in the humanities, and the recent swell of interest associated with the Slow Movement. It looks at the diverse angles from which slow reading has been approached in education, library sciences and media studies. Research in psychology and neurophysiology provides a tentative explanation for the ongoing role of slow reading. The theme of locality in the Slow Movement provides insight into the importance of physical location in our relationship with information. Most of all, Slow Reading represents a rediscovery of the pleasure of reading for its own sake.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Miedema\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 098020044X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780980200447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Litwin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.19d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/12\/2010 pg. 59","brand":"John Miedema","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926964273407,"sku":"9780980200447","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c754c1c4-dcad-4563-974f-35215b7f6c79.jpg?v=1681086019","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/slow-reading-john-miedema-9780980200447","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
