Misleading name
Customer Rating:  Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1
This is mis-labeled. There is a link from the paperback book to this article. I mistook it as being an online copy of the book, which I need to read for a report for my Psychology class. It is not, and I accidentally wasted 6 bucks on this. It is not a paperback copy of the book; it is merely some random article by some random person. The confusion should probably be cleared up.

Needs an update
Customer Rating:  Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4
This book goes into detail on several commonly used items. The two biggest issues I had with the book are: it's a little outdated, it could use more research on the solutions to reducing waste.

Great Stuff
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
This book is fantastic!! It really get into the details so you clearly understand the path of where things come from. It's enlightening and well worth the money. While educational in nature it is also very interesting. You can't help running around the house looking for someone to tell them what you just read.

Great Stuff
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
Stuff is a terrific exploration of the lifecyle of products and services that we pay for as consumers. This book feeds us info, but more importantly, shows us how to be more aware of what we consume and why. Great exercise for anyone interested in learning or teaching about our environment, (which should be everyone!)

Book and HTML versions are very different
Customer Rating:  Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4
I bought the "HTML edition" thinking that I'd save a tree and burn pixels instead. But the HTML is not the book; it is a very short essay. If you're expecting the same content as what's on paper, be warned.
