Look closely at any typically "American" article of clothing these days, and you may be surprised to see a Japanese label inside. From high-end denim to oxford button-downs, Japanese designers have taken the classic American look - known as ametora, or "American traditional" - and turned it into a huge business for companies like Uniqlo, Kamakura Shirts, Evisu, and Kapital. This phenomenon is part of a long dialogue between Japanese and American fashion.

While I hoped that this book would go into more detail on contemporary Japanese americana like Kapital and Visvim, Improvided every step of the way to the foundations of these brands that we know and love today. This book highlights so many key players who pushed the American aesthetic in Japan, and worked to develop the Japanese Fashion industry we love today. There are wonderful passages about finding vintage Levi’s in cellars of stores in American west. They discuss the Japanese obsession with how to guides and catalogs. The book shares information on how selvage denim came to Japan. As a fashion enthusiast I find myself pulling information from this book out of my brain on a weekly basis.

In February 2011 John Galliano, the lauded head of Christian Dior, imploded with a drunken, anti-Semitic public tirade. Exactly a year earlier, celebrated designer Alexander McQueen took his own life three weeks before his women's wear show. Both were casualties of the war between art and commerce that has raged within fashion for the last two decades.

This is quite a long listen, and that times I found it to be a bit dry… Maybe even boring. That being said, this book provides great detail of Galliano and McQueen’s influences, struggles, life, and work.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Revisado: 01-23-22
This was a wonderful, shocking and descriptive autobiography. As a white American, raised in a rural nearly all white town, I have been working to learn more about the systemic racism in the country. This book provided a window into a time and place unimaginable to me. I learned. Learned. Learned.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.
