Sustainable Fashion provides a unique and accessible overview of fashion ethics and sustainability issues of the past; present and future. This book is the first to situate todays eco-fashion movement in its multifaceted historical context; investigating the relationship between fashion and the environment as far back as the early nineteenth century. Employing an expanded definition of sustainability that also considers ethical issues; Farley Gordon and Hill explore each stage of the fashion production cycle; from the cultivation of raw fibers to the shipment of the finished garment. Structured thematically; each of the six chapters is dedicated to the discussion of one major issue; from recycling and repurposing to labor practices and the treatment of animals. Including interviews with eco-fashion designers; Sustainable Fashion will appeal to students and scholars of fashion; as well as students of design; history and cultural studies.

This book was an impulse buy (much cheaper than the $20 program I had my eye on) and its quite nice! It really starts with the very basics and works up. It even had features in the beginning to show when to breath; which is something I was having a hard time teaching. Its a great book for the price.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The pages are large and easy to readBy MomofthreeI bought this for my 8 year old and then barrowed it from her since I missed out on recorder in elementary. Its been beneficial to both of us. It starts with very simple music and builds gradually; hitting all the basics. The pages are large and easy to read. Also explains basic note reading stuff like timing. About half the songs were familiar so that was nice. Lots of folks and Christmas songs. No previous music experience is necessary.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. My grandsons use their recorders all the time to practice ...By Richard R.My grandsons use their recorders all the time to practice their learning of music for school. These recorders have really helped them. One plays the viola and tenor saxophone and the other plays the violin. They still use their recorders to help get note sounds right.
