a sweet Sustainable Laundry Guide that is thoughtfully written by Echoview’s founder, Julie Jensen, and delightfuly illustrated by Alden Roberts, it is a quick deep dive into the world of sustainable laundry. a large part of the environmental impact of clothing occurs after we have brought it home, wear and wash it, and then (usually) when it finds its way to the landfill.
we compiled this guide to help us all collectively reframe our mindset about how we can do laundry in a way that will help to ease our impact on the world.
with sections such as Mindfulness in Cleaning, Soap Vs. Detergent, The Green Laundry Pantry Guide, and a Quick Guide for Stains, this guide can be returned to again and again for the helpful tips, but also for the little mental exercises laid out within.

this beautifully designed clothbound book brings together the 'Palabrarmas' series by the chilean-born artist, poet and activist cecilia vicuña (born 1948).
images of these works―each a powerful juxtaposition of color, poetry and politics―appear alongside new essays and historical references chosen with the artist. palabrarmas, a neologism that translates to "word weapons" or "word arms," imagine new ways of seeing language. taking the form of collages, silkscreens, drawings, poems, fabric banners, cutouts, mixed-media installations and street actions, vicuña’s palabarmas bring together her work in poetry, activism and visual art. each one unpacks and deconstructs single words to reveal other words hiding within them, allowing new meanings to emerge.
the artist began making these visual anagrams while in exile in london and bogotá after the pinochet-led coup of 1973 in chile, and has always seen them as a form of liberation―as a way to "open up minds by opening up words," as she puts it. the palabarmas have taken on new relevance in today’s political climate, and appeared on the streets during chile’s 2019 revolution as protest signs. this book presents a range of palabrarmas in color for the first time, with new essays by mónica de la torre, carla macchiavello, cecilia vicuña and jeanne gerrity, and reprinted texts by rené daumal, robert randall and simón rodríguez.

a wide-ranging survey of black art in the american south, from thornton dial and nellie mae rowe to the quilters of gee's bend
for generations, black artists from the american south have forged a unique art tradition. working in near isolation from established practices, they have created masterpieces in clay, driftwood, roots, soil, and recycled and cast-off objects that articulate america's painful past--the inhuman practice of enslavement, the cruel segregationist policies of the jim crow era and institutionalized racism. their works respond to issues ranging from economic inequality, oppression and social marginalization to sexuality, the influence of place and ancestral memory.
among the sculptures, paintings, reliefs and drawings included here--the majority from the souls grown deep foundation in atlanta--are works by thornton dial, lonnie holley, ronald lockett, hawkins bolden, bessie harvey, charles williams, mary t. smith, purvis young, mose tolliver, nellie nae rowe, mary lee bendolph, marlene bennett jones, martha jane pettway, loretta pettway and henry and georgia speller. also featured are the celebrated quiltmakers of gee's bend, alabama, and work from the neighboring communities of rehoboth and alberta.

an exploration of the visual corollary to didion’s life and work and the feeling that each generates in her admirers, detractors and critics―including artists from helen lundeberg to diane arbus, betye saar to maren hassinger, vija celmins and andy warhol.
arranged chronologically, the book highlights didion's fascination with the two coasts that made her. as a Westerner transplanted to new york, didion was able to look at her native land, its mores and fixed rules of behavior, with the loving and critical eyes of a daughter who got out and went back. and from her new york perch, didion was able to observe the political scene more closely, writing trenchant pieces about clinton, el salvador and most searingly the central park five.
“[a] gorgeous anthology of fashion images … leibovitz is nothing less than america’s greatest living photographic portraitist … she has changed fashion photography forever.” – anna wintour
legendary photographer annie leibovitz’s surprising account of her encounters with fashion over five decades
‘looking back at my work, i see that fashion has always been there,’ annie leibovitz observes in the preface to wonderland. ‘fashion plays a part in the scheme of everything, but photography always comes first for me. the photograph is the most important part. and photography is so big that it can encompass journalism, portraiture, reportage, family photographs, fashion ... my work for vogue fueled the fire for a kind of photography that i might not otherwise have explored.’
includes 350 extraordinary images (many of them previously unpublished) featuring a wide and diverse range of subjects: nicole kidman, serena williams, pina bausch, rupaul, cate blanchett, lady gaga, matthew barney, kate moss, natalia vodianova, rihanna, chimamanda ngozi adichie, karl lagerfeld, nancy pelosi. foreword by anna wintour.
