pb'A really important book' RAYNOR WINNb pFrom relics of Georgian empire-building and slave-trading, through Victorian London's barged-out refuse to 1980s fly-tipping and the pervasiveness of present-day plastics, iRag and Bone itraces the story of our rubbish, and, through it, our history of consumption. pIn a series of beachcombing and mudlarking walks - beginning in the Thames in central London, then out to the Kentish estuary and eventually the sea around Cornwall - Lisa Woollett also tells the story of her family, a number of whom made their living from London's waste, and who made a similar journey downriver from the centre of the city to the sea. pA beautifully written but urgent mixture of social history, family memoir and nature writing, iRag and Bone iis a book about what we can learn from what we've thrown away - and a call to think more about what we leave behind.p
