_____________
Sand, salt, iron, copper, oil and lithium. They built our world, and they will transform our future.
They took us from the Dark Ages to the present day. They power our computers and phones, build our homes and offices, and create life-saving medicines. But most of us take these six crucial materials completely for granted.
In Material World, Ed Conway travels the globe to uncover a secret world we rarely see. As we wrestle with climate change, energy crises and the threat of new global conflict, Conway shows why these substances matter more th an ever before, and how the hidden battle to control them will shape our geopolitical future.
