"Material World. A substantial story of our past and future" by Ed Conway.
What a good book. Sky News journalist Ed Conway writes about six materials which determine the faith of humanity: sand, salt, iron, copper, oil and lithium. Makes you marvel at human engineering and aware about our dependency on them and the environmental damage their exploiting brings to earth

“What I have just said regarding the nature of the astral scenery must not be taken as indicating that the Astral, itself, is merely imaginary or unreal in any sense. Nor is the substance of which the scenery is composed any less real than the substance of which the material world is composed. On the material plane, substance manifests as matter; while on the astral plane it manifests in a finer form of ‘stuff’ or material.”

Writing #MaterialWorld was the most fascinating thing I've ever done.
It completely changed how I look at the world.
米国 : 湖底のリチウム鉱脈で充電池原料を自給？
Lithium Valley (Big Picture Science)
Big Picture Scienceポッドキャストの「Lithium Vally」というエビソード。スマホ、ラップトップ、EV、太陽光発電などに必要な充電池に欠かせないリチウム採掘の話。カリフォルニア州のソルトン湖底に、世界のリチウムの40％近い鉱脈がある。採掘が軌道に乗れば国内需要を充足できる。環境保護と資源開発の折り合いをつけるのがこれからの課題。
ゲストは英TImes紙のコラムニストで、「Material World : THE SIX RAW MATERIALS THAT SHAPE MODERN CIVILIZATION」という著書で、世界文明を形成してきた6つの物質（sand, salt, iron, copper, oil, and lithium）という切り口からまとめた エド・コンウェイ(Ed Conway)氏。
This applies both to the production of “stuff” as well as to the resources that make that production possibile ― oil, gas, steel, rare earths, etc. Crucially, much of that “stuff” is located and/or produced in the non-Western world ― or the expanding BRICS+ bloc. That says all we need to know about the geopolitical power shift underway.

We had to build a battery
Which would not explode, you see
We sought out lithium
To finally get the go-ahead
And now it runs our EVs!

Material World by Ed Conway is excellent book. Everyone posting/tooting anything about #climatecrisis and/or #climatechange should read it.
If you don't have time then atleast watch his wonderful interview in #fullycharged
> Some households have a larger throughput than others. For proof, there’s no better source than #MaterialWorld, an eye-catching book by photographer #PeterMenzel.. Menzel takes the pulse of typical households in thirty countries by photographing families and their possessions in front of their homes... the Skeen family (from the United States) in front of their 1,600-square-foot suburban house.

#EnoughIsEnough by #DonBietz and #DanONeill
"A century of #agnosticism about the true #natureofmatter hasn’t found its way deeply enough into other fields, where #materialism still appears to be the most sensible way of dealing with the world and, most of all, with the #mind.
Some #neuroscientists think that they’re being precise and grounded by holding tightly to #materialist credentials… But this conviction is out of step with what we #physicists know about the #materialworld."
