{"product_id":"clutter-jennifer-howard-9781953368096","title":"Clutter: An Untidy History","description":"\"I'm sitting on the floor in my mother's house, surrounded by stuff.\" So begins Jennifer Howard's \u003ci\u003eClutter\u003c\/i\u003e, an expansive assessment of our relationship to the things that share and shape our lives. Sparked by the painful two-year process of cleaning out her mother's house in the wake of a devastating physical and emotional collapse, Howard sets her own personal struggle with clutter against a meticulously researched history of just how the developed world came to drown in material goods. With sharp prose and an eye for telling detail, she connects the dots between the Industrial Revolution, the Sears \u0026amp; Roebuck catalog, and the Container Store, and shines unsparing light on clutter's darker connections to environmental devastation and hoarding disorder. In a confounding age when Amazon can deliver anything at the click of a mouse and decluttering guru Marie Kondo can become a reality TV star, Howard's bracing analysis has never been more timely.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Howard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1953368093\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781953368096\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Belt Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/04\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 4.90w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJennifer Howard\u003c\/b\u003e is a former contributing editor and columnist for \u003cem\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/em\u003e and a former senior reporter for \u003cem\u003eThe Chronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/em\u003e.
