dust
did

the

suffocated

Pompeiians;
today
its
industrial

But

What
is
dust?
It's
more
than
the
generic
"stuff"
that
lightly
covers
our
tabletops
if
we're
not
diligent
cleaners,
writes
Hannah
Holmes.
In
fact,
dust
comes
from
such
exotic
places
as
the
stars,
volcanoes,
the
evaporating
seas,
the
clothing
of
kings,
and
even
dead
people.
Sometimes
benevolent,
sometimes
destructive,
dust
is
a
little
bit
of
everything.
Holmes
puts
all
kinds
of
dust
under
the
microscope
in
this
short,
sweet
book.
