Time, Consumption and Everyday Life - Practice, Materiality and Culture - Hardback - 2009

"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.
