'A really important book' RAYNOR WINNFrom relics of Georgian empirebuilding and slavetrading, through Victorian London's bargedout refuse to 1980s flytipping and the pervasiveness of presentday plastics, Rag and Bone traces the story of our rubbish, and, through it, our history of consumption.In a series of beachcombing and mudlarking walks beginning in the Thames in central London, then out to the Kentish estuary and eventually the sea around Cornwall Lisa Woollett also tells the story of her family, a number of whom made their living from London's waste, and who made a similar journey downriver from the centre of the city to the sea.A beautifully written but urgent mixture of social history, family memoir and nature writing, Rag and Bone is a book about what we can learn from what we've thrown away and a call to think more about what we leave behind.
