Dust: A History of the Small and the Invisible door Joseph A. Amato
Superficial? Seems overly broad and unsupported in its conclusions.
3256. When Father and Son Conspire: A Minnesota Farm Murder, by Joseph Amato (Oct 16) This is about the double murder near Ruthton, Minnesota, on Set. 29, 1983, written by a professor at Southwest State U., Marshall, Minn. It concentrates more on the murderers than did the book on that crime by Andrew H. Malcolm (entitled Final Harvest: An American Tragedy), which spent much time on the victims' lives. I am not sure this event was worth reading two books about, but ,,,
Not the metaphysical essay that it claims to be - really a conservative history of technology's ability to improve the lives of those "less fortunate," particularly women and the working poor. I wish that Rebecca Solnit had written it.
