Περιγραφή για Rag and Bone: A Family History of What We've Thrown Away Lisa Woollett John Murray Publishers Ltd 0702

\'A really important book\' RAYNOR WINNFrom relics of Georgian empire-building and slave-trading, through Victorian London\'s barged-out refuse to 1980s fly-tipping and the pervasiveness of present-day plastics, Rag and Bone traces the story of our rubbish, and, through it, our history of consumption.In a series of beachcombing and mudlarking walks - beginning in the Thames in central London, then out to the Kentish estuary and eventually the sea around Cornwall - Lisa Woollett also tells the story of her family, a number of whom made their living from London\'s waste, and who made a similar journey downriver from the centre of the city to the sea.A beautifully written but urgent mixture of social history, family memoir and nature writing, Rag and Bone is a book about what we can learn from what we\'ve thrown away - and a call to think more about what we leave behind.
