Mark Kingwell's introductory essay offers a playful defence of the idler as homo superior, while Joshua Glenn's glossary playfully explores the etymology and history of hundreds of idler-specific terms and phrases, while offering both a corrective to popular misconceptions about idling and a foundation for a new mode of thinking about working and not working. \u003ci\u003eThe Idler's Glossary\u003c\/i\u003e is destined to become The Devil's Dictionary for the idling classes, necessary reading for any and all who wish to introduce more truly \"free\" time into their daily lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Biblioasis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781897231463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.90h x 3.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Joshua Glenn,Mark Kingwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52181323743413,"sku":"9781897231463","price":11.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_b598bf85-8a78-400d-b403-3b405659df48.jpg?v=1768922701","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-idlers-glossary-9781897231463","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
