Summary

Ink Written History explores the profound impact of ink on civilization, revealing its journey from ancient natural mixtures to today's complex synthetic formulations. The book emphasizes that ink isn't merely a passive medium; it's an active agent in shaping human knowledge and culture. Intriguingly, the development of iron gall ink during the medieval period, while durable, often led to corrosion of documents, highlighting the challenges in ink production. Moreover, the advent of the printing press spurred an explosion of knowledge dissemination, significantly influenced by mass-produced inks. This exploration of ink history is presented chronologically and thematically. It begins by examining the basic chemical composition of different inks and their production methods, moves through ink's use across cultures and eras, and culminates in modern ink technologies. By connecting history, science, and art, the book illustrates how ink has been essential in recording our past, driving scientific processes, and enabling artistic expression. It uniquely considers ink as both a cultural artifact and a technological innovation reflecting societal change.

    In this book, Eve O. Schaub, humorist and stunt memoirist extraordinaire, tackles her most difficult challenge to date: garbage. Convincing her husband and two daughters to go along with her, Schaub attempts the seemingly impossible: living in the modern world without creating any trash at all—for an entire year and, as it turns out, during a pandemic. In the process, Schaub learns some startling things: that modern recycling is broken and single stream recycling is a lie, that flushable wipes aren’t flushable and compostables aren’t compostable, and that plastic drives climate change, fosters racism, and is poisoning the environment and our bodies at alarming rates, as microplastics are being found everywhere, from the top of Mount Everest to the placenta of unborn babies. If you’ve ever thought twice about that plastic straw in your drink, you’re gonna wanna read this book.
