Tutto in un granello. Come la sabbia ha trasformato la storia della civiltà

The story of sand feels unexpected for a book about resources, but it reveals so much about our development. I'm curious what sparked this focus.

It’s fascinating how essential sand is, yet extracting it is causing ecological issues. Did this make others think differently about resource consumption?

The book covers a wide range of topics, from glassmaking to construction. I wonder how the author chose which stories to include and which to leave out.
