Dust: The Hidden History of Everything: From Cosmic Origins to Human Ruins

Dust: The Residue of ExistenceFrom cosmic birth to human collapse, the story of the world told through its smallest remains.Most of us think of dust as something to sweep away — a nuisance, a sign of neglect.But dust is history made visible. It is the residue of stars, empires, and bodies; the record of every beginning and every end.In Dust: The Hidden History of Everything, we travel from the birth of the universe to the ruins of our own civilization — tracing how the tiniest particles connect every event in existence.Astronomers find stardust older than the Sun inside meteorites. Archaeologists read the stories of lost cities in layers of ash. Farmers watch their soil turn to air. Scientists study microplastics and radioactive fallout drifting across the planet.What emerges is a startling revelation: dust is not decay, but continuity. It is the medium through which the universe remembers.Beautifully written and deeply researched, Dust weaves science, history, and philosophy into an unforgettable narrative about the material that makes and unmakes us. Readers of Annie Dillard, Carlo Rovelli, and Rebecca Solnit will find here the wonder of discovery joined with the quiet shock of recognition — that we, too, are dust, endlessly rearranged.Read more
