Portlandness : A Cultural Atlas
by David Banis
The new cartography is about much more than just land! In 150 infographic maps of Portland, Oregon, two leading geographers explore unexpected topics like city chickens, wild coyote encounters, the growth of man-made land, the (non)use of umbrellas, and queer culture. Modern cartography tells the hidden stories of Portland in these fascinating and colorful infographic maps. When mapmaking takes on nontraditional topics like patterns of graffiti, locations of strip clubs, or even which neighborhoods favor which house colors, finding your way around the city takes on a whole new meaning.

| Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion by Elizabeth L. ClineEach year, the average American buys 64 pieces of clothing -- most of them from places like Target, TJ Maxx, H&M, and other purveyors of cheap clothes. Many get worn for only a short time before one trend ends and another begins -- and the item is replaced with another cheap, trendy piece. To find out the actual costs and the effects of all this low-price, poor-quality clothing flooding the U.S. market, journalist Elizabeth Cline visited clothes makers in the U.S., garment factories overseas, and the charity shops and textile recyclers everywhere that end up with the cast-offs. If you're interested in ethical shopping, Cline also includes some tips for a sustainable closet. |

| I'll Drink to That: A Life in Style, With a Twist by Betty Halbreich with Rebecca PaleyWhen Betty Halbreich published this book in 2014, she was 86 years old and still working as a personal shopper for luxury department store Bergdorf Goodman, where she'd amassed a loyal following over her 40 years there. Though as much a personal accounting of her life (privileged childhood, early marriage, and a divorce that forced her into the working world) as it is about her influential role in the lives of her clients -- celebrities or otherwise -- fashionable readers will enjoy her tales of couture gossip and her trademark style. |
