Hannah Holmes A mesmerizing expedition around our dusty world
"Nothing to sneeze at."–Time Acclaim for The Secret Life of Dust "You will never again look disparagingly upon dust. Hannah Holmes has written my favorite kind of book––one that takes a seemingly mundane subject and trumpets its significance in our lives not only on Earth, but in the Heavens." "A fascinating journey into the unseen flecks that underpin our world and those beyond." "Witty, interesting, and absolutely terrifying." "An excellent work. Dust is small, but The Secret Life of Dust is a big, and fun, accomplishment." "Few browsers will put science writer Hannah Holmes’ latest volume down without adding it to their to-be-read list." "Worth the price on its dust jacket. Holmes’ book belongs on your shelf, in a dusty nook between the works of Diane Ackerman and John McPhee." "It’s an entertaining little book. . . . After reading The Secret Life of Dust, the fluff in your vacuum cleaner will never look quite the same again." "An unusual perspective on things we don’t notice." "Hannah Holmes is a science writer to watch. Who ever thought dust could so shine?"
The suburban lawn sprouts a crop of contradictory myths. To some,
it's a green oasis; to others, it's eco-purgatory. Science writer
Hannah Holmes spent a year appraising the lawn through the eyes of
the squirrels, crows, worms, and spiders who think of her backyard
as their own. "Suburban Safari" is" "a fascinating and often
hilarious record of her discoveries: that many animals adore the
suburban environment, including bears and cougars venturing in from
the woods; how plants, in their struggle for dominance, communicate
with their own kind and battle other species; and that ways already
exist for us to grow healthier, livelier lawns.
