The book is largely concerned with the history of Western culture of speed that forms the framework within which the phenomenon of slow living is placed. A comprehensive analysis of practices and representations of deceleration in everyday life - slow travel, slow London and slow lit - suggests the rise of a post-slow stage in the history of speed.
