The art of stillness : adventures in going nowhere

Iyer, Pico (author.). Einarsdottir, Eydis, (photographer.).

Summary: "The Art of Stillness considers the unexpected adventure of staying put and reveals a counter-intuitive truth: The more ways people have to connect, the more they seem desperate to unplug. There is even a growing trend toward observing an 'Internet sabbath' every week, turning off online connections from Friday night to Monday morning and reviving those ancient customs known as family meals and conversation."--Provided by the publisher.
