Garbage Land: On the Secret Trail of Trash

DESCRIPTION: Like the bestselling Fast Food Nation, GARBAGE LAND lifts the lid off a world we take for granted, revealing its complicated, surprising underbelly. Download Garbage Land: On the Secret Trail of Trash from rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared. In this highly unconventional travel book, Elizabeth Royte leads the reader on a cultural tour guided and informed by the things she throws away. Structured around four separate journeys--those of Royte's household trash, compostable matter, recyclables, and sewage--GARBAGE LAND is a literary investigation of the truly dirty side of consumption. Royte melds science, anthropology, and a strong dose of clear-headed analysis in her appraisal of America's relationship with its garbage, examining the uncomfortable subject of waste in much the same way Mary Roach's Stiff tackled corpses.
