Exploring dust as a method for seeing the world - from space dust to sandstorms, the domestic to the digital.

'Dust is a book with an extraordinary global story to tell, but - and - also with an ethical argument to advance. Robert Macfarlane 'Superb' Telegraph 'Brilliant' Sunday Times 'Eye-opening . . . impressive' Guardian 'Powerful' Nature 'Like a detective dusting for fingerprints, Jay Owens masterfully reveals the hidden traces of modernity by following some of its smallest fragments.' James Vincent, author of Beyond Measure __________ Dust may seem inconsequential, so tiny and mundane as to slip below the threshold of thought. Yet within the next one hundred years, life on Earth will be profoundly changed by heat and drought - and that means dust. In this ground-breaking book, Jay Owens argues that dust is a legacy of twentieth-century progress and a toxic threat to life in the twenty-first. Dust: The Modern World in a Trillion Particles tells the gripping story of how the relentless drive for profit and power has turned the world to powder. Combining history and science, travel and nature writing, Owens shows how the modern world was made through environmental devastation - and then brushed the consequences under the carpet. From particle air pollution and nuclear fallout to desertification, dried-up seas and melting glaciers, we've profoundly altered the planet we live on. The cost to human health - and to the natural world - proves immense. From the California desert and the Dust Bowl in Oklahoma to the desiccated remains of the Aral Sea and the edge of the Greenland ice sheet, we are shown that some of the planet's most remote and forgotten places are central to the modern world. With clarity and insight, Dust: The Modern World in a Trillion Particles helps us understand our legacy and discovers the big ideas found within the smallest particles. __________ Combining history and science, a sweeping look at the smallest substance and the biggest challenges facing people and the planet 'The result is an original and illuminating book in which Owens takes something apparently insignificant and uses it to expose the terrible consequences of our exploitation of the natural world.' The Times Literary Supplement 'From Mark Kurlansky's Salt and Laura Martin's Tea to Jared Diamond's Guns and Germs and Steel, can we now add geographer Jay Owens's Dust?' Telegraph

Dust

The Modern World in a Trillion Particles

The deep sea is one of humanity's last frontiers. For most of our history it has been a remote realm, invoking awe and terror as it lays shrouded in darkness. But here, where the light cannot reach, lies a strange, wonderful and breath-taking portal into Earth's past, teeming with scientific marvels and lessons for the future of life on this planet. In The Dark Frontier, marine microbiologist and expert deep-sea explorer Jeffrey Marlow plunges us into the unreachable realm and invites us into close-up encounters with its hidden brilliance. There are translucent shrimp that dance through sulfurous vents, crabs that stretch twelve feet from claw to claw and the eerie chalk-white towers of the 'Lost City'. Immersive and illuminating, Marlow's journeys heed warnings too: our reach is exceeding our grasp. We are irrevocably changing the deep sea before we even know it. This expansive book offers crucial and surprising insights into the birthplace of life on ancient Earth. It shows how life can thrive in even the most extreme conditions and expands our understanding of possibilities - and our responsibilities - on earth and beyond.
