So begins Jennifer Howards Clutter, an expansive assessment of our relationship to the things that share and shape our lives. Inspired by the painful process of cleaning out her mothers house, 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 clutters darker connections to environmental devastation and hoarding disorder. In an age when Amazon can deliver anything at the click of a mouse and decluttering guru Marie Kondo can become a reality TV star, Howards bracing analysis has never been more timely.Slim and compelling, Clutter is a book for anyone struggling to understand why they have so much stuffand what do do about it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Belt Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Howard, Jennifer \/ hardcover","offer_id":47842275393781,"sku":"SONG1948742721","price":9.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/91RcyKrLcHL.jpg?v=1773774777","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/clutter-an-untidy-history","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
