Summary

"Still" invites readers to take on the philosophy of the Slow movement: Living Sustainable. Local. Organic. And Whole. Our homes are ideally placed to support and promote this philosophy, through everything from the materials we source in construction to how we fit-out and furnish them. The choices we make don't have to be at the expense of creating a space that feels warm and welcoming, though. Instead, it can actually make us feel better about how and where we live. This beautiful book explores the homes of twenty people from around the world -- across four continents and thirteen countries -- enlightening readers as to why they chose the Slow path and how it has benefited their lives. There is no one way, but many paths that are leading to more awareness and a greater conversation
