"If there is one sector of society that should be cultivating deep thought in itself and others, it is academia. Yet the corporatisation of the contemporary university has sped up the clock, demanding increased speed and efficiency from faculty regardless of the consequences for education and scholarship. In The Slow Professor, Maggie Berg and Barbara K. Seeber discuss how adopting the principles of the Slow movement in academic life can counter this erosion of humanistic education. Focusing on the individual faculty member and his or her own professional practice, Berg and Seeber present both an analysis of the culture of speed in the academy and ways of alleviating stress while improving teaching, research, and collegiality. The Slow Professor will be a must-read for anyone in academia concerned about the frantic pace of contemporary university life."--

"Slow Cities counterintuitively demonstrates that by reducing the speed of travel within cities, residents save time and create a more sustainable, livable and healthy city. Utilizing research from multiple disciplinary perspectives, it identifies effective methods, strategies and policies for decreasing the speed of motorized traffic and how to move towards a transport modal shift to walking, cycling and public transit. The book offers a holistic assessment of the impact of speed on daily behavior and life choices, examining speed's impact on the interaction between transport and land use, housing density, and the distribution of city commerce, services and schools."--
