The Secret Life of Dust (2001)
Book
Published
Dust sounds like a subject that might struggle to fill a paragraph. Holmes finds a route through homes, landscapes and the atmosphere by taking tiny particles seriously. Its appeal is the change of scale: something you usually wipe away becomes a way to understand connections between your immediate surroundings and a much larger world.

About The Secret Life of Dust
"Some see dust as dull stuff, useless at best, and sneeze-inducing at worst. But in the hands of writer Hannah Holmes, dust becomes a dazzling and mysterious force. As Holmes says, dust is a messenger, and air is its medium. And by the end of this fascinating journey through The Secret Life of Dust, we cannot help but agree."--BOOK JACKET.
