Fascinating guests and wildly different books. I'll be reading @timminshall.bsky.social's "Your Life is Manufactured" ASAP; inventions + supply chain stuff are amazing. Yes, people need to know a LOT more about how their world works (+ helping explain it is my job too!). Thanks as always! #librarian

Thanks @sixsimon.bsky.social!
My latest read: "How Things Are Made" by @timminshall.bsky.social. An accessible but detailed explanation of global manufacturing and supply chains. He makes practical points for more local, sustainable production but still celebrates business. Brilliant.
