Clutter : an untidy history / Jennifer Howard. by Howard, Jennifer (Journalist). Belt Publishing, 2020. Call #: 306.3 H849c Subjects Acquisitiveness -- History.   Acquisitiveness.   Consumption (Economics) -- Psychological aspects.   Consumer behavior -- History.   Belongings, Personal.   Compulsive hoarding. ISBN:  9781948742726 (hc.) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  176 p. ; 20 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 169-174). Summary:  ""I'm sitting on the floor in my mother's house, surrounded by stuff." So begins Jennifer Howard's Clutter, 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 & 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."--Book jacket..
