FEATURING A NEW AFTERWORD
'Revelatory.' SUNDAY TIMES
'Fascinating.' THE TIMES
'Well-observed and enjoyably written.' FINANCIAL TIMES
'An extraordinarily good read.'
DAVID SPIEGELHALTER
Unless you are floating naked through space, you are right now in direct contact with multiple manufactured products, be it furniture, technology, clothing, and or even food. The processes by which these things appear in our lives are virtually invisible. How often do we stop to think: Where do the things we buy actually come from?
Charting the byzantine journeys taken by everyday items to reach us, Your Life is Manufactured reveals the seismic impact manufacturing has had on our lives and the natural world - and explores how it could offer us a path to a truly sustainable, more equitable future. In doing so, Minshall grants us the ability to make better choices for ourselves, our communities and the planet.
