Synopsis

Broken is a timely celebration of the makers, menders and re-makers challenging our throwaway culture. Katie Treggiden profiles 28 practitioners who choose care, repair and longevity over fast, disposable convenience. Through six compelling essays, the book explores why mending matters—culturally, environmentally and emotionally—as we shift away from a linear take-make-waste model toward a more circular, meaningful way of living.
