This morning I finished "The 99% invisible city: a field guide to the hidden world of everyday design" by Roman Mars and Kurt Kohlstedt. This is a book based on the 99% Invisible Podcast. The book was good and interesting, but I'd heard most of the stories on the podcast, and I like the podcast format better since it's a bit less formal with more banter. I highly recommend the podcast, and I also recommend the book, especially if you're not into the podcast.

You can find more out about the podcast at 99percentinvisible.org/.

The information on the book in BARD is:

The popular concept of working class has lost appeal. It is too narrow in scope regarding those that it addresses and benefits, and it sounds anachronistic. Therefore, it is time for linguistic renewal, offered by terms like "the 99%".
