The first spark plugs were thrown on the potter’s wheel. Clay has played a vital role in the health and beauty fields. Indeed, this humble material was key to many advances in civilization, including the development of agriculture and the invention of baking, architecture, religion, and even the space program.

Told with verve and erudition, this story will ensure you won’t see the world around you in quite the same way after reading the book.
