Did dinosaurs contribute to global warming? What is rubbish theory and what indeed is rubbish? And how did the whale become a cuddly toy? And why did we decide to saturate our land and food with pesticides? This book examines these questions and also includes a study of pollution in fiction, from the fogs of Dickens to the smog of Chandler.
