Burns, Leland Smith Busy Bodies: Why Our Time-Obsessed Society Keeps Us Running in Place
W W Norton & Co Inc February 1, 199 0-393-03362-7 / 9780393033625 1st Edition Hardcover Very Good/Very Good
Porn videos, sound bites, declining volunteerism, Three Mile Island and mis -read Pap tests are a few of the myriad examples Burns cites in this witty look at how a perceived shortage of time is mishaping American society. We are driven by a rule to get the most pleasure in the least time, suggests B urns, who teaches in UCLA's Graduate School of Architecture and Urban Plann ing. Tracking this principle as it operates in politics, manners, medicine, fitness, relationships and home life, he occasionally probes views of othe r societies, especially Japan. Also of interest is a history of time-tellin g and time-saving.
