The Secret Life of Dust by Hannah Holmes

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was interesting, and who knew that dust would be interesting?? I like this sort of book; one that explores a particular topic through lots of different lenses, that looks at one thing from different angles. This book looks at how dust affects everything from health to global climate. This was also a very readable book, there was science but it was presented in a very straight forward manner. Thanks to Garreth for lending this book to me :)

Rating: 5 stars

Recommendations: Some other books that are of the same type are Salt, and Cod by Mark Kurlansky, both explore one topic throughout history.

240 pages took about 3 hours
