🧽 Ah, the carpeted kingdom of Georgia - where the rivers flow with more chemicals than water! 💦 Is there a better way to define progress than by poisoning your water supply for stain-free floors? Bravo, America, truly a legacy worthy of its own cleanup reality show. 📺🙄

This week's #NewBooks at the library: Another three books from our January clearance sale, some of which have been review candidates for some time now.

- Planet Palm: How Palm Oil Ended Up in Everything – and Endangered the World, a shocking and eye-opening reportage written by Jocelyn C. Zuckerman and published by Hurst Publishers.

- Making Faces: The Evolutionary Origins of the Human Face, written by Adam S. Wilkins, published by Belknap Press. Not one I was planning to review, but I find it very hard to pass up a bargain on an interesting book on human evolution and physical anthropology.

- Unfit for Purpose: When Human Evolution Collides with the Modern World, written by Adam Hart, published by Bloomsbury Sigma. One of several books that explores the mismatch between our evolutionary legacy and the modern world we have created for ourselves. I expect them to be amusing reads all!
