pick

I loved this! I expected it to be grim but it has some wonderful, uplifting, strong women characters and I learnt much about South Africa, the Boer War and its aftermath. Written from interesting perspectives - a mother in a concentration camp, a teenage boy & a single mother. There‘s an undercurrent of violence & the tension builds. A great ear for dialogue and characters written with care & compassion. Recommended.

Material Value: More Sustainable, Less Wasteful Manufacturing of Everything from Cell Phones to Cleaning Products | Julia L. F. Goldstein

so-so

You think you know about recycling, but have you thought about manufacturing and materials innovations? This book does just that. It covers everyday, technical, and chemical aspects of sustainability and reduced waste. The writing, however, isn‘t the most readable for a non-engineer.

Megabooks Interesting. For some reason, which is not entirely clear, I thought of the Netflix series Broken. Maybe because it‘s about, counterfeit/dangerous materials. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Have you watched that series? (Limited. Three episodes: makeup, vaping, and particleboard furniture.) 5y

Cathythoughts Good choice for this prompt. I‘m struggling to find a book for this one ... going to the bookshop today to have a look around for something....👍🏻😁 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Megabooks Netflix keeps suggesting that series to me—maybe they know what I‘m reading! 😱 5y

Megabooks @BarbaraTheBibliophage with big data mining, I wouldn‘t be surprised at all! 5y
