Skogslandet : en granskning

AvLisa Röstlund

Storpocket, Svenska, 2023

(10)

160 kr

"För att ha blottlagt ett sjukt underjordiskt rotsystem där storföretag, myndigheter och politiker flätas samman i en hänsynslös rovdrift på den svenska skogen. " Guldspaden 2023 för årets bok

"Lisa Röstlunds reportage är ett yxhugg rätt in i den svenska folksjälen." Dagens Nyheter

"Boken är en utförlig redogörelse för olika perspektiv och vinklar som finns i konflikten som råder kring den svenska skogen." Aftonbladet

"Journalisten Lisa Röstlund har skrivit en högaktuell granskning i bokform." Tidningen Ångermanland

"Oerhört spännande kastar man sig som läsare hela tiden vidare ... Röstlunds bok borde skapa en mental skogsbrand i hela Sverige." Smålandsposten

"Röstlund fläker upp hela denna fråga, som så ofta mörkas av starka industriintressen, och låter den detonera – inte med slagord utan med minutiös journalistik." Göran Greider

"En skandal skildrad som en spännande deckare. … Lisa Röstlund har ägnat flera år åt att gräva i ödesfrågan: hur skogen ska användas för att lösa klimatkrisen och det akuta hotet mot den biologiska mångfalden. En bok som inte går att läsa utan att bli rasande på de ljugande skogsbolagen och ohederliga forskare. ETC

I skogslandet Sverige pågår en strid. Biologer larmar: de sista riktiga skogarna försvinner – snart återstår bara hyggen och plantager. Skogsbolag och andra forskare säger tvärtom: vi har aldrig haft så mycket skog som nu. Och mitt i brinnande klimat- och biologisk mångfalds-kris är man djupt oense om hur skogen ska användas för att bäst möta och bidra till att lösa den.

När journalisten Lisa Röstlund granskar en av vår tids ödesfrågor kliver hon ned i skyttegravarna och blottar konsekvenser av kriget. Hon finner hemliga dokument och möter rädda människor som bara vågar uttala sig anonymt, men också de som väljer att prata öppet. Om självmord. Om dödshot mellan grannar. Om etablerade och välrenommerade forskare som mobbas ut. Och om vetenskapsmän som smider planer ihop med industrin. Granskningen vävs in i hennes vardag och väcker svåra frågor.

Motivering:

”I sin senaste bok Skogslandet granskar journalisten Lisa Röstlund skogslandet Sverige och de strider som finns i samhället angående synen på skogen och dess roll i samhället, klimatet och ekonomin. När hon granskar en av vår tids ödesfrågor kliver hon ned i skyttegravarna och blottar konsekvenser av kriget. Men trots svåra frågor så håller hon fast i sitt uppdrag som grävande journalist och belyser frågan om skogens värde och skogsindustrins påverkan från flera olika sidor och perspektiv. Vi ser att Lisa verkar i Ludvig Nordströms anda genom att skildra människor i landet som talar om och upplever sig för små för att ta kampen mot de stora bolagen, människor som påverkas i sin vardag av de konflikter som pågår kring den svenska skogen och hur detta väcker många svåra frågor”.

Coal’s Final Void

Extracted Futures and the Everyday Making of the Climate Crisis

AvKari Dahlgren

Inbunden, Engelska, 2025

2 435 kr

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar

This book explores the continuation of coal mining in Australia despite growing awareness of its contribution to the climate crisis. Through an in-depth ethnographic study, Kari Dahlgren reveals the complex and often contradictory ways that miners, lobbyists, and communities navigate the uncertain future of coal. By focusing on the human stories behind this industry, the book sheds light on broader environmental, political, and social issues of global significance.Dahlgren’s research spans multiple Australian coal communities, primarily in Moranbah, Queensland, and the Hunter Valley of New South Wales. She offers insights into the daily decisions and ethical considerations of coal miners and lobbyists that sustain the industry in the face of climate change. The book addresses diverse topics, such as labour precarity, gender roles, populist politics, and the moral accusations faced by pro-coal advocates, connecting these themes to the broader social and political challenges of Australia’s energy transition.Central to the book are the “final voids” left by mining—both physical and metonymic holes left in the aftermath of mining. These voids represent the emptied livelihoods of those entangled in the coal industry, as they grapple with the uncertainty of what comes next. The book explores how communities, lobbyists, and miners attempt to imagine and fill these voids with hopeful but often impractical visions, avoiding a reckoning with the industry's destructive legacy. This struggle highlights the deep entanglement of labour and ecological precarity in sustaining the climate crisis, offering fresh insights for scholars in anthropology, human geography, and energy policy. This book is essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and activists engaged in climate and energy debates, as well as anyone interested in the complex human dimensions of the energy transition.

Ett svunnet Bohuslän : språk och fiskekultur runt Bottnafjorden

AvArnold Nordén

Inbunden, Svenska, 2025

(1)

359 kr

Arnold Nordén från Bovallstrand (1902–1984) arbetade som fiskare fram till sitt femtonde år, då han bytte fisket mot studier i Lund och Göteborg. Så småningom blev han lärare, samtidigt som han forskade och beskrev sin barndoms kultur och språk vid Bottnafjorden.

I fem decennier bidade Nordéns 700-sidiga manuskript sin tid. Här hade han nedtecknat det språk som talades runt Bottnafjorden, med ortnamnshistoria, minnen av personer och händelser och med egna teckningar. Fiskelägen och öar utmed Sotenäset och norrut, mot Hamburgsund och Havstenssund, skildras också.

Ett svunnet Bohuslän rymmer en tredjedel av Nordéns manuskript. Hans egna illustrationer kompletteras här av nutida drönarfoton tagna av flygfotografen och konstnären Per Pixel Petersson.

Arnold Nordén (1902–1984), född i Bovallstrand och senare bosatt på Öarne, Svenneby. I slutet av 1910-talet skickades fiskaresonen Arnold till Lund för gymnasiestudier. Därefter följde högskolestudier i Göteborg i geografi och historia och sedan även nordiska språk. Tack vare sina akademiska studier stod han på en god grund för att samla, dokumentera och analysera information om sin hembygd och dess språk.

Mushroom at the End of the World

"A poetic and remarkably fertile exploration of the relationship between human beings and the natural environment."—Pankaj Mishra, The Guardian"I'm very grateful to have this book."—Ursula K. Le GuinThe acclaimed and award-winning book about what a rare mushroom can teach us about sustaining life on a fragile planetA Flavorwire and Times Higher Education Book of the YearMatsutake is the most valuable mushroom in the world—and a weed that grows in human-disturbed forests across the northern hemisphere. Through its ability to nurture trees, matsutake helps forests to grow in daunting places. It is also an edible delicacy in Japan, where it sometimes commands astronomical prices. In all its contradictions, matsutake offers insights into areas far beyond just mushrooms and addresses a crucial question: what manages to live in the ruins we have made? A tale of diversity within our damaged landscapes, The Mushroom at the End of the World follows one of the strangest commodity chains of our times to explore the unexpected corners of capitalism. Here, we witness the varied and peculiar worlds of matsutake commerce: the worlds of Japanese gourmets, capitalist traders, Hmong jungle fighters, industrial forests, Yi Chinese goat herders, Finnish nature guides, and more. These companions also lead us into fungal ecologies and forest histories to better understand the promise of cohabitation in a time of massive human destruction.By investigating one of the world's most sought-after fungi, The Mushroom at the End of the World presents an original examination into the relation between capitalist destruction and collaborative survival within multispecies landscapes, the prerequisite for continuing life on earth.

”Vildplockade ostron är allt annat än en konventionell kokbok. Det är lika mycket en högst personlig inblick i en ung kvinnas liv, där känslan för skärgården och havet med dess lockelser och faror skummar lika stark som Lottas rena kärlek till ostron.” Gourmet

”Vacker bok som ger mycket kunskap om ”ostronåret” och vårt svenska ostron: ostrea edulis, men också belyser hur krävande ostronfisket är samtidigt som det innebär stor frihet och total kontakt med naturen.” Expressen

Vildplockade ostron från svala vatten tillhör världens mer exklusiva råvaror – men arbetet med att dyka efter dem är kallt, hårt och slitigt. Lotta Klemming delar med sig av all den kunskap som arbetet i familjeföretagetpå Västkusten gett, men också om livet som ostrondykare. På ett personlig plan betyder arbetet i havet allt för Lotta, det ger henne den frihet hon sökt i hela sitt liv.

Lean Farm

How to Minimize Waste, Increase Efficiency, and Maximize Value and Profits with Less Work

AvBen Hartman

Häftad, Engelska, 2015

258 kr

Skickas

A practical, systems-based approach for a more sustainable farming operation"Ben Hartman has revolutionized his methods, cut down his work hours dramatically, and shrunk the size of his farm, all while making a better income."—Civil EatsTo many people today, using the words “factory” and “farm” in the same sentence is nothing short of sacrilege. In many cases, though, the same sound business practices apply whether you are producing cars or carrots. Author Ben Hartman and other young farmers are increasingly finding that incorporating the best new ideas from business into their farming can drastically cut their wastes and increase their profits, making their farms more environmentally and economically sustainable. By explaining the lean system for identifying and eliminating waste and introducing efficiency in every aspect of the farm operation, The Lean Farm makes the case that small-scale farming can be an attractive career option for young people who are interested in growing food for their community.Working smarter, not harder, also prevents the kind of burnout that start-up farmers often encounter in the face of long, hard, backbreaking labor. Lean principles grew out of the Japanese automotive industry, but they are now being followed on progressive farms around the world. Using examples from his own family’s one-acre community-supported farm in Indiana, Hartman clearly instructs other small farmers in how to incorporate lean practices in each step of their production chain, from starting a farm and harvesting crops to training employees and selling goods.Inside The Lean Farm you'll discover how to apply lean practices like:Every Tool In Its PlaceTen Types of Farm WasteEstablish Pull, Don't PushLimits of LeanLean for More Profitand much more! While the intended audience for this book is small-scale farmers who are part of the growing local food movement, Hartman’s prescriptions for high-value, low-cost production apply to farms and businesses of almost any size or scale that hope to harness the power of lean in their production processes.Ben Hartman was named a "Grist 50! Fixer""The Lean Farm should be dissected, digested, and discussed—then applied—on every single farm: big or small, wholesale or retail, livestock or produce. It would make all farms more profitable, productive, and pleasurable.”—Joel Salatin, owner of Polyface Farm

Vilt, jakt och människor i Norrlands skogar 1870-1900

AvKjell Danell

Inbunden, Svenska, 2020

(6)

289 kr

Skickas

Den senare delen av 1800-talet var en händelserik tid i Norrland. Skogsbruk och gruvhantering tog fart och befolkningen växte. Tillgången på jordbruksmark blev allt knappare och under svagåren drabbades många av svält. Många migrerade till USA. I de tidigare tämligen öde skogarna blev det liv och rörelse och arbetskraft kom från andra länder. Många fick välbetalda arbeten i skogen och industrin och lämnade därför jordbruket. Samtidigt utökade staten sitt markinnehav som bemannades med jägmästare och kronojägare som förvaltade och bevakade. Byarnas jaktmarker inskränktes och brott mot jaktstadgan beivrades. Misstron mot myndigheter stärktes.

Den dåliga respekten för jaktstadgan och ökad jakt och fångst ledde till att bävern och vildrenen utrotades och älgen blev ytterst sällsynt. Genom jaktvårdsföreningar, jaktarrenden och utplanteringar försökte man förbättra situationen. Framstegen kom, men sakta.

Författaren Kjell Danell har i sitt arbete utgått ifrån revirförvaltarnas detaljerade årsrapporter och genom denna rikt illustrerade bok får läsaren en god och levande bild av levnadsvillkor, djurliv och jaktmetoder.

In the fight against climate change, lithium’s role in reducing emissions by powering green economies is a mixed blessing. Drawing on ground-breaking fieldwork in Chile, Nevada and Portugal, Thea Riofrancos explores the environmental and social costs of the global race to expand lithium mining amid supply chain concerns. Tracing the history of global extraction, Riofrancos examines how mining harms landscapes, provokes protest, takes centre stage in national politics and links small countries to huge corporations, commodity markets and powerful investors.While an unregulated mining boom could inflict irreversible harm, Riofrancos offers compelling ideas about how to harmonise climate action with social justice. Across the world’s extractive frontiers, we encounter the most brutal aspects of capitalism—but also witness inspiring visions for our planetary future

Named a ‘Best Book of the Year’ by Kirkus Reviews‘Urgent and eye-opening, the book serves as a loud-and-clear alarm.’ – The Boston GlobeFrom an MIT scientist, mounting evidence that the active ingredient in the world’s most commonly used weedkiller is contributing to skyrocketing rates of chronic disease.Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup, the most commonly used weedkiller in the world. Over 300 million pounds of glyphosate-based herbicide are sprayed on farms – and food – every year.Agrochemical companies claim that glyphosate is safe for humans, animals and the environment. But emerging scientific research on glyphosate’s deadly disruption of the gut microbiome, its crippling effect on protein synthesis and its impact on the body’s ability to use and transport sulfur – not to mention several landmark legal cases – tells a very different story.In Toxic Legacy, senior research scientist Stephanie Seneff, PhD, delivers compelling evidence based on countless published, peer-reviewed studies – all in frank, illuminating and always accessible language.As Rachel Carson did with DDT in the 1960’s with Silent Spring, Seneff sounds the alarm on glyphosate, giving you guidance on simple changes you can make right now and essential information you need to protect your health, your family’s health and the planet on which we all depend. ‘A game-changer that we would be foolish to ignore.’ – Kirkus Reviews (starred)‘Toxic Legacy will stand shoulder to shoulder with Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring. [This is] unquestionably, one of the most important books of our time.’ – David Perlmutter, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Grain Brain‘Dr. Seneff’s work will change the way we all think about food.’ – Mark Hyman, MD, New York Times bestselling author

A powerful new history of the Great Strike in the miners’ own voices, based on more than 140 interviews with former miners and their familiesForty years ago, Arthur Scargill led the National Union of Mineworkers on one of the largest strikes in British history. A deep sense of pride existed within Britain’s mining communities who thought of themselves as the backbone of the nation’s economy. But they were vilified by Margaret Thatcher’s government and eventually broken: deprived of their jobs, their livelihoods, and in some cases, their lives.In this groundbreaking new history, Robert Gildea interviews those miners and their families who fought to defend themselves. Exploring mining communities from South Wales to the Midlands, Yorkshire, County Durham, and Fife, Gildea shows how the miners and their families organized to protect themselves, and how a network of activists mobilized to support them.Amid the recent wave of industrial action in the United Kingdom, Backbone of the Nation highlights anew the importance of labor organization—and intimately records the triumphs, losses, and resilience of these mining communities.

For millennia, fresh olive oil has been one of life's necessities-not just as food but also as medicine, a beauty aid, and a vital element of religious ritual. Today's researchers are continuing to confirm the remarkable, life-giving properties of true extra-virgin, and "extra-virgin Italian" has become the highest standard of quality.But what if this symbol of purity has become deeply corrupt? Starting with an explosive article in The New Yorker, Tom Mueller has become the world's expert on olive oil and olive oil fraud-a story of globalization, deception, and crime in the food industry from ancient times to the present, and a powerful indictment of today's lax protections against fake and even toxic food products in the United States. A rich and deliciously readable narrative, Extra Virginity is also an inspiring account of the artisanal producers, chemical analysts, chefs, and food activists who are defending the extraordinary oils that truly deserve the name "extra-virgin."

Agriculture, one of the oldest human occupations, is practised all over the world, using techniques ranging from the profoundly traditional to the most scientifically advanced. Without it we would starve. Yet how many of us understand what is happening in the fields that we see as we drive through the countryside? How often do we think about the origins of the food in our trolley?In this Very Short Introduction Paul Brassley and Richard Soffe explain what farmers do and why they do it. Beginning with the most basic resource, the soil, they show why it is important, and how farmers can increase its productivity, before turning to the plants and animals that grow on it, and tracing the connections between their biology and the various ways in which farmers work with them. The authors conclude by looking at some of the controversial issues facing contemporary agriculture: its sustainability; its impact on wildlife and landscape; issues of animal welfare; and the affect of climate change and the development of genetically modified organisms on farmers.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

'A must-read for anyone interested in food and the future' Yotam OttolenghiBased on ten years of surveying farming communities around the world, top New York chef Dan Barber's The Third Plate offers a radical new way of thinking about food that will heal the land and taste incredible.The 'first plate' was a classic meal centred on a large cut of meat with few vegetables. On the 'second plate', championed by the farm-to-table movement, meat is free-range and vegetables are locally sourced. It's better-tasting, and better for the planet, but the second plate's architecture is identical to that of the first. It, too, disrupts ecological balances, causing soil depletion and nutrient loss - it just isn't a sustainable way to farm or eat.The 'third plate' offers a solution: an integrated system of vegetable, cereal and livestock production that is fully supported - in fact, dictated - by what we choose to cook for dinner. The Third Plate is where good farming and good food intersect.

Den nya fisken : sanningen om odlad lax och de konsekvenser vi inte längre kan blunda för

AvKjetil Østli,Simen Sætre

Odlad lax är ett av västvärldens mest uppskattade livsmedel – gott, lyxigt och alltid tillgängligt. Men den odlade laxens framgångssaga har en mörk baksida. På 1970-talet forskade en grupp vetenskapsmän på hur man kunde producera mer mat för världens växande befolkning. Genom att samla in gener från lax i 41 norska och svenska älvar skapade de en ny sorts lax – en som var fetare och växte snabbare. Detta var en banbrytande innovation och blev starten för en helt ny industri. När man släppte ut denna nya fisk i naturen, började stora saker hända. Kusten fick nytt liv, människor fick arbete och flera blev miljardärer. Samtidigt började problemen hopa sig. De nya fiskarna rymde och började konkurrera med andra fiskar om födan i havet. De spred sjukdomar; laxlusen ökade lavinartat och vilda laxbestånd minskade drastiskt. Hundratals ton av antibiotika vräktes ut i norska fjordar. Efter fem år av research skildrar de prisbelönta författarna Simen Sætre och Kjetil Østli hela berättelsen om den odlade laxen. För första gången sammanställde de en omfattande utvärdering av laxodlingens negativa effekter. Från laxlus till rymningar, från avföringsansamlingar i fjordarna – där vildlaxen måste simma för att nå sina lekområden – till det faktum att laxodling leder till en nettoförlust av protein från havet. Den odlade laxens behov av foder har lett till utfiskning i Östersjön. De ställer också frågor: Vad händer om man placerar ett nytt djur i havet? Hur påverkar det andra fiskar och arter. Varför hotas forskarna som varnar för riskerna? Vart tog försiktighetsprincipen vägen? I denna välskrivna och fängslande bok skildrar författarna de märkliga, provocerande, uppseendeväckande, mäktiga och tragiska följderna av den odlade laxen.

The Sunday Times bestseller *Shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize*A New Statesman and Spectator Book of the Year'This book calls for nothing less than a revolution in the future of food' Kate RaworthFrom the bestselling author of Feral, a breathtaking first glimpse of a new future for food and for humanityFarming is the world's greatest cause of environmental destruction - and the one we are least prepared to talk about. We criticise urban sprawl, but farming sprawls across thirty times as much land. We have ploughed, fenced and grazed great tracts of the planet, felling forests, killing wildlife, and poisoning rivers and oceans to feed ourselves. Yet millions still go hungry.Now the food system itself is beginning to falter. But, as George Monbiot shows us in this brilliant, bracingly original new book, we can resolve the biggest of our dilemmas and feed the world without devouring the planet.Regenesis is a breathtaking vision of a new future for food and for humanity. Drawing on astonishing advances in soil ecology, Monbiot reveals how our changing understanding of the world beneath our feet could allow us to grow more food with less farming. He meets the people who are unlocking these methods, from the fruit and vegetable grower revolutionising our understanding of fertility; through breeders of perennial grains, liberating the land from ploughs and poisons; to the scientists pioneering new ways to grow protein and fat. Together, they show how the tiniest life forms could help us make peace with the planet, restore its living systems, and replace the age of extinction with an age of regenesis.

“Ben Hartman is a true innovator for the small farm.”—Curtis Stone, author of The Urban FarmerIt’s time to think big about small farms. Award-winning author and “green leader” (Grist) Ben Hartman shares practical how-to tips, personal stories, and surprising examples of cutting-edge farmers and innovators around the world to show us how.In the early 1970s, US Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz infamously commanded farmers to “get big or get out.” In The Lean Micro Farm, author Ben Hartman rejects that disastrous suggestion and instead takes up the charge of the late agrarian thinker Gene Logsdon: “Get small and stay in.”Taking inspiration from the groundbreaking ideas of E. F. Schumacher and Mahatma Gandhi, The Lean Micro Farm shows how small, hyperlocal farms can be both ecologically and economically superior to industrial-scale operations geared toward export and commodity markets.The Lean Micro Farm details the author’s remarkable journey to downsize his farm from one acre to a third of an acre in an effort to prioritize family and community over work, all without taking a pay cut. In addition, Hartman profiles six innovative farmers from across the globe who embody this “get small” mindset. These pioneering farmers show all of us a path toward resilience in the face of supply chain disruption, globalization, and climate change. They model a gentler, more ecological approach to farming that produces less waste and uses less plastic, petroleum, and fertilizer.Like his previous two books, The Lean Farm and The Lean Farm Guide to Growing Vegetables, Hartman’s The Lean Micro Farm doesn’t just explain why smaller is better, it shows readers exactly how it can be done with step-by-step guides on how to turn a profit from a tiny, but productive, parcel of farmland. Readers will find not just philosophical justifications for a minimalist approach to agriculture but also actionable information for starting your own profitable micro farm, including:A description of the “deep mulch” method for building fertilityInstructions on two-step bed flipping to increase production on a small footprintA guide for choosing essential tools and technologies “with a human face”An easy-to-follow process for making your micro farm lean and efficientA detailed plan for selling $20,000 worth of produce from your backyard It’s time, Hartman makes clear, to pivot to a new kind of farming—one that builds upon ancestral knowledge, nourishes communities, and puts human joy, not technology, at its center.“Hartman has revolutionized his methods, cut down his work hours dramatically, and shrunk the size of his farm, all while making a better income.”—Civil Eats

Elements of Power

ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL WRITING FINALIST 2026 LONGLISTED FOR THE 2026 MOORE PRIZE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS WRITING ‘A tale of rapacious colonialism, Cold War spy games, dazzling technical innovation, big business rivalry, big power geopolitics […] an unflinching, landmark work on the nature of extractive capitalism’ Patrick Radden Keefe ‘Joseph Conrad called colonial ventures in Africa “the vilest scramble for loot that ever disfigured the history of human conscience”. After reading this book you might want to add the words “until now”’ The Times How we became addicted to a supply chain that wreaks havoc across the globe. Epic, shocking, and deeply reported, The Elements of Power tells the story of the war for the global supply of battery metals – essential for the decarbonization of our economies – and the terrible, bloody human cost of this badly misunderstood industry.Congo is rich. Swaths of the war-torn African country lack basic infrastructure, and, after many decades of colonial occupation, its people are officially among the poorest in the world. But hidden beneath the soil are vast quantities of cobalt, lithium, copper, tin, tantalum, tungsten, and other treasures. Recently, this veritable periodic table of resources has become extremely valuable because these metals are essential for the global “energy transition”—the plan for wealthy nations to wean themselves off fossil fuels by shifting to sustainable forms of energy, such as solar and wind. The race to electrify the world’s economy has begun, and China has a considerable head start. From Indonesia to South America to Central Africa, Beijing has invested in mines and infrastructure for decades. But the U.S. has begun fighting back with massive investments of its own, as well as sanctions and disruptive tariffs.In this rush for green energy, the world has become utterly reliant on resources unearthed far away and willfully blind to the terrible political, environmental, and social consequences of their extraction. If the Democratic Republic of the Congo possesses such riches, why are its children routinely descending deep into treacherous mines to dig with the most rudimentary of tools, or in some cases their bare hands? Why are Indonesia’s seas and skies being polluted in a rush for battery metals? Why is the Western Sahara, a source for phosphates, still being treated like a colony? Who must pay the price for progress?With unparalleled, original reporting, Nicolas Niarchos reveals how the scramble to control these metals and their production is overturning the world order, just as the global race to drill for oil shaped the twentieth century. Exploring the advent of the lithium-ion battery and tracing the supply chain for its production, Niarchos tells the story both of the people driving these tectonic changes and those whose lives are being upended. He reveals the true, devastating consequences of our best intentions and helps us prepare for an uncertain future. If you have ever used a smartphone or driven an electric vehicle, you are implicated.
