DESCRIPTION:A blizzard of new objects has suddenly appeared on Earth: plas
 tic bottles\, ballpoint pens\, enlarged chicken bones\, and teabags\, to n
 ame but a few. They're produced for our comfort and pleasure\, then quickl
 y discarded. This treasure chest underpins our lives\, but it is also givi
 ng way to a completely new style of fossilisation – technofossils. The b
 ook\, Discarded\, explores how these new fossils will transform as they ar
 e attacked by bacteria\, baked by the Earth's inner heat\, squashed by ove
 rlying rock\, permeated by subterranean fluids\, and crumpled by mountain-
 building movements — as well as what will be left of them and their impa
 ct on our current ecological systems.
