Revelatory, terrifying, but, ultimately, hopeful. --Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of THE SIXTH EXTINCTIONFrom the author of Junkyard Planet, a journey into the surprising afterlives of our former possessions.Downsizing. Decluttering. Discarding. Sooner or later, all of us are faced with things we no longer need or want. But when we drop our old clothes and other items off at a local donation center, where do they go? Sometimes across the country--or even halfway across the world--to people and places who find value in what we leave behind.In Secondhand, journalist Adam Minter takes us on an unexpected adventure into the often-hidden, multibillion-dollar industry of reuse: thrift stores in the American Southwest to vintage shops in Tokyo, flea markets in Southeast Asia to used-goods enterprises in Ghana, and more.
