Elaine's bibliographic suggestions, round one

Kristen's Perfume Museum:
Alain Corbain, *The Foul and The Fragrant: Odor and the French Social Imagination*--a great history of how things smell and smelled

Jeuin's Mercury Museum:
"Mercury Exposure from Interior Latex Paint" New England Journal of Med--I got it from Google.  Mercury replaced lead in paint, damaging paint factory workers and consumers.

Jonathan's Vinyl Museum:
Motown's website
Dynamicsun.com--site of record factory in E. Newark, NJ

Pablo's False Teeth:
See denture-making program at NYC Tech College

Nick's Microprocessor Museum:
AK Bagchi and R. Sanaddar, eds. *New Technology and the Workers' Response: Microelectronics, Labour and Society.*  Microprocessors in India from a variety of political economic viewpoints accding to book review.

Montana's Sneaker Museum:
United Students Against Sweatshops
Nike website
See the work of Gary Simmons, a young NYC artist (or younger than me anyway)--he has a bronze sculpture of sneakered feet on the subway.
