{"product_id":"time-consumption-and-everyday-life-elizabeth-shove-9781847883643","title":"Time, Consumption and Everyday Life: Practice, Materiality and Culture","description":"Has material civilization spun out of control, becoming too fast for our own well-being and that of the planet? This book confronts these anxieties and examines the changing rhythms and temporal organization of everyday life. How do people handle hurriedness, burn-out and stress? Are slower forms of consumption viable? This volume brings together international experts from geography, sociology, history, anthropology and philosophy. In case studies covering the United States, Asia and Europe, contributors follow routines and rhythms, their emotional and political dynamics and show how they are anchored in material culture and everyday practice. Running themes of the book are questions of coordination and disruption; cycles and seasons; and the interplay between power and freedom, and between material and natural forces. The result is a volume that brings studies of practice, temporality and material culture together to open up a new intellectual agenda.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Shove\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1847883648\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847883643\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Elizabeth Shove","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077615644927,"sku":"9781847883643","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_00f43ccb-3bfd-45d8-a60f-aa43e83c665a.jpg?v=1685470897","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/time-consumption-and-everyday-life-elizabeth-shove-9781847883643","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
