Jack Lohmann reframes our relationship with the natural world, uncovering the many lives – and deaths – of phosphorus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1842, Darwin’s beloved botany professor, Reverend John Stevens Henslow, discovered the miraculous potential of phosphorus as a fertiliser. He hardly imagined that his countrymen would soon be grinding the bones of dead soldiers and mummified Egyptian cats to fertilise farms. Nor that his discovery would spawn a global mining industry, changing diets, lifestyle, and the face of the planet forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJourneying across the flat expanses of Henslow’s Suffolk to far-flung Nauru, an island stripped of its life force by this ravenous young industry, Lohmann sifts through the Earth’s geological layers and eras, exploring our strained relationship with a life-giving element. Bold, lyrical, genre-defying, \u003cem\u003eWhite Light\u003c\/em\u003e invites us to renew our broken relationship not just with the earth, but with our own death – and the life it brings after us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855485718764,"sku":"9781836430872","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/38b2c5c86ab41d9c46dc872be6fa45af.jpg?v=1759278044"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/jack-lohmann.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
