Sinossi

Straw Sips Easy explores the fascinating history of the drinking straw, focusing on the transformative 1888 design that revolutionized beverage consumption. This innovation moved straws from being rudimentary tools to indispensable accessories. Before this pivotal design, straws, often crafted from natural materials like rye grass, could be brittle and impart unwanted flavors, highlighting the significance of this technological advancement. The book examines how this seemingly simple invention influenced social behaviors and industrial practices.

 
 It begins by tracing the straw's origins and then hones in on the 19th-century advancements leading to the 1888 design. Chapters delve into mass production, marketing strategies, and the environmental considerations of straw usage, including the rise of paper straws and debates surrounding plastic alternatives. Drawing on sources like patent records and historical advertisements, the book offers a fact-based narrative that connects to fields like material science and economics. Straw Sips Easy ultimately reveals the hidden complexities and historical significance behind an everyday object, highlighting its role in contemporary society and future innovations.

    What kind of fossils will we leave, as relics into the far future? A blizzard of new objects has suddenly appeared on Earth: plastic bottles, ballpoint pens, concrete flyways, chicken bones, cans, teabags, phones, shirts. They're produced for our comfort and pleasure then quickly discarded. This new-made treasure chest underpins our lives. But it is also giving a completely new style of fossilization to our planet. Designed to resist corrosion and decay, many will remain, petrified, as future geology. 
     
     
     
    What will these technofossils look like? How long will they last and how will they change? Discarded describes how they transform and what will be left of them. These new fossils have meaning for our lives today. For we live on a world increasingly buried under our growing waste. As our discarded artefacts begin to change into fossils, they may be swallowed by birds, entangle fish, alter microbial communities and release toxins. Even buried in rock, technofossils may break down into new-formed oil and gas, change the composition of groundwater, and attract new mineral growths. 
     
     
     
    It is a new planetary phenomenon, now unfolding around us. Scientists are only just beginning to grasp its scale, and get to grips with how it functions. This book describes the kind of science that is emerging to show the far-future human footprint on Earth.
