Material World: A Global Family Portrait

not quite what you are talking about but cool with regard to "stuff" and what people around the world own ... or what might own them

this book has people remove everything from their dwelling and display / arrange it all in front of their home

fascinating to see the differences in what we own in all the different places around the world

This reminds me of Peter Menzel's Material World. It is the most fascinating coffee-table book!

This is from a book called Material World http://www.amazon.com/Material-World-Global-Family-Portrait/dp/0871564300

I have it somewhere, read it as a kid. Really good book, also had great pictures where they'd take like... ALL of their possessions and display them outside their house. Very informative. Worth attributing, even.

Great book for comparing lifestyles around the globe.

I saw a book like this once. they took every possession families owned and put them on the front lawn and took a pic. they did that all across the globe. really put some stuff in perspective.

Not sure if it's quite the same, but my parents have this as a coffee table book. Similar at least, it's all the possessions of people around the world. Pretty interesting.
