CDs start out as sand. Blackboard chalk comes from tiny sea creatures. The objects all around us - every single product in the world - is made from elements found in nature. Technology changes constantly, but the stages raw materials go through to become finished objects remain much the same. On every page of this book, these processes are described and illustrated step by step. The text and artwork combine humour with encyclopaedic attention to detail.
