But the story is not over. We are often told we now live in a weightless world of information but in fact we dug more stuff out of the earth in 2017 than in all of human history before 1950. And its getting worse. To make one bar of gold, we now have to dig 5,000 tons of earth. For every tonne of fossil fuels, we extract six tonnes of other materials - from sand to stone to wood to metal. Even as we pare back our consumption of fossil fuels we have redoubled our consumption of everything else. Why? Because these ingredients build everything. They power our computers and phones, build our homes and offices, print our books and packaging. Our modern world would not exist without them, and the hidden battle to control them will shape our future.</p><p>See the history of human civilization from a new perspective - our ambitions and glory, innovations and appetites - literally from the ground up.</p>...(*_*)9780753559185_<p><strong>THE <em>SUNDAY TIMES</em> BESTSELLER and RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK<br />An <em>Economist</em>, <em>Financial Times</em>, <em>Times</em> and <em>New Statesman</em> Book of the Year</strong><br />Shortlisted for the <em>FT</em> Business Book of the Year Award and the British Academy Book Prize, Longlisted for the Wainwright Conservation Writing Prize</p><p>Compelling TIM MARSHALL<br /><strong>Lively, rich and exciting</strong> PETER FRANKOPAN<br /><strong>Vitally important</strong> TIM HARFORD</p><p><em>_____________</em></p><p><strong>Sand, salt, iron, copper, oil and lithium.
