The Other Dark Matter: The Science and Business of Turning Waste into Wealth and Health

byLina Zeldovich

Grossly ambitious and rooted in scientific scholarship, The Other Dark Matter shows how human excrement can be a life-saving, money-making resource—if we make better use of it. The research behind The Other Dark Matter draws together scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies to show how the central story changed over time. The result links the science and business of turning waste into wealth and health with debates in science, showing where public institutions and private experience meet. The Other Dark Matter emphasizes the specific circumstances that made this story possible and the consequences that followed.
