DUST The Modern World in a Trillion Particles

After listening to this probing audiobook, listeners will never look at a dust bunny the same way again. Narrator Naomi Frederick's spot-on performance makes listening to the environmental history of our planet's dust absolutely engaging. The author, a geographer, writer, and researcher, creatively combines travel writing with history and science to argue that environmental devastation--from air pollution to melting glaciers--is pulverizing the planet. Frederick's English accent represents the author well as the book opens in her soot-covered hometown of London. Frederick smoothly shifts accents when referencing the diverse historical figures who are quoted throughout the work. With the author and narrator at the top of their games, this listening experience provides a solid framework for understanding the painful consequences of the Anthropocene.
