The Length Of Looking | Why the most important changes pass unseen

This book asks for something unusual at the start, which is that you slow down to read it. Not as a courtesy, and not as a mood. The book is about attention, and it would be a strange thing to argue about attention in prose built for speed. So the sentences here are plain, and they do not hurry, and now and then they will hold still on something small for longer than seems warranted. If that asks more patience than a book usually asks, the asking is the point, and it is the only difficulty the book will deliberately put in your way.
