PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Matt Simon is a science journalist at Wired magazine, where he covers the environment, biology, and robotics. He's the author of two previous books, Plight of the Living Dead: What Real-Life Zombies Reveal About Our World--and Ourselves and The Wasp That Brainwashed the Caterpillar: Evolution's Most Unbelievable Solutions to Life's Biggest Problems. He enjoys long walks on the beach and trying not to think about all the microplastics there.
"""An authoritative, unflinching account of how plastics built the modern world, then contaminated every corner of it. Simon is a sharp guide to the science of this slow-moving, often invisible catastrophe, the consequences of which are only just now beginning to be understood. This book disturbs, provokes, and delights. It is an urgent read."" --Megan Molteni, science writer, STAT ""Fascinating dive into a ubiquitous but under-the-radar pollutant. This book will change how you look at everything: your baby's toys, your favorite pants, and climate change policy. Throughout, Simon's jaunty writing will keep a wry smile on your face."" --Danielle Venton, science reporter, KQED ""Keeping up with the new science on microplastics is a full-time job for specialists. Thank goodness for Simon, who helps the rest of us understand the state of the science and what's at stake. This is a growing problem, and this book is a timely snapshot taken at a critical moment in the history of plastic pollution."" --Rebecca Altman, PhD, writer and environmental sociologist"
