Indeks : p. 191-193 p. 183-189 This book takes a measured look at the 'crisis of waste' in modern society and it does so historically, sociologically and critically. It tells stories about past and present ?crises? of waste and puts them in their appropriate social and industrial contexts. From Charles Dickens to Don DeLillo, from the internal combustion engine to fish fingers, from kitchen grease to the Tour de France this book digs deep into society?s dust piles and emerges with untold treasures of the imagination. A book that applies the methods of archeology to contemporary America's trash and deduces general 'laws' of garbage as well as acute insights into personal behaviours and social norms.
