No Time: Stress and the Crisis of Modern Life (Signed) - Menzies, Heather

SIGNED BY HEATHER MENZIES on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; some wear to inside corners; crease across bottom front corner; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; minimal wear; Starting with the single observation that no one seems to have time anymore, Heather Menzies pulls the connecting threads to unravel the crisis of meaning and accountability threatening to paralyze society today. Seeing a link between various diseases of our times - from stress and depression among adults to attention deficit disorder in kids - Menzie argues that what's happening to people is also happening to institutions and society at large. It also ends on a note of hope by suggesting what we can do to restore balance in our personal lives, renew humanity in our social institutions and create a more human scale of time and space in our social environment.
