Our individual relationship with our stuff is broken. In each of our homes, some stuff is broken. And the strain of rampant consumerism and manufacturing is breaking our planet. We need big, systemic changes, from public policy to global economic systems. But we don't need to wait for them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Since founding Fixup, a pop-up repair shop that brought her coverage in \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSalon\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNew York Public Radio\u003c\/i\u003e, and more, Sandra Goldmark has become a leader in the movement to demand better \"stuff.\" She doesn't just want to help us clear clutter--she aims to move us away from throwaway culture, to teach us to reuse and repurpose more thoughtfully, and to urge companies to produce better stuff. Although her goal is ambitious, the solution to getting there is surprisingly simple and involves all of us: have good stuff, not too much, mostly reclaimed, care for it, and pass it on. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFixation \u003c\/i\u003echarts the path to the next frontier in the health, wellness, and environmental movements--learning how to value stewardship over waste. We can choose quality items designed for a long lifecycle, commit to repairing them when they break, and shift our perspective on reuse and \"preowned\" goods. Together, we can demand that companies get on board. Goldmark shares examples of forward-thinking companies that are thriving by conducting their businesses sustainably and responsibly. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Passionate, wise, and practical, \u003ci\u003eFixation \u003c\/i\u003eoffers us a new understanding of stuff by building a value chain where good design, reuse, and repair are the status quo. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandra Goldmark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1642830453\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781642830453\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Island Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/04\/2020","brand":"Sandra Goldmark","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44042509222143,"sku":"9781642830453","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_60f65488-42c3-45c7-bccc-e564da39c91a.jpg?v=1684961949","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fixation-sandra-goldmark-9781642830453","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
