Publisher's Synopsis
Listful examines the how and why of lists' centrality in our lives today. Bombarded with information in an ever-changing world, for most of the list offers a calming and ordering tool, a coping mechanism to manage the pace of life and its demands. And that's where the commonality ends - there are, it would seem, almost infinite ways to make a list, and everyone's is different. Drawing on interviews with family, friends and colleagues, and delving into the arts and media, Joanna Nolan's book explores the magical power of the humble list.
