A Short History of Simplicity Obstacles to Simplicity Laying the Foundations for a Simpler Lifestyle The Gifts of Simplicity The Sacred Arts of Life Conclusion References and notes Recommended readingReviewsIn keeping with its title, this is a straightforward book, beautifully illustrated, well ordered, with clear directions and useful references. What is more, it is written without cant, and, most importantly, not by a zealot but by a practitioner. Only someone who has sought to practise the simple life would know its detail, the small matters that make it so. -- David Cadman Resurgence Author InformationJohn Lane (1930–2012) was a painter, writer and educator.
