Description
Kelleher has spent much of her life chasing beauty. She came to see that whenever you find something unbearably beautiful, if you look closer, you'll inevitably find a shadow of decay lurking beneath. Here she blends science, history, and memoir to uncover the dark underbellies of our favorite goods. -- adapted from jacket
