Well, if I recall, there are two very interesting, and somewhat
similar in context, books about dust. One is called "Dust: A History
of the Small and the Invisible" and the other is "The Secret Life of
Dust: From the Cosmos to the Kitchen Counter" or something quite
similar. My two favorite books about "dust" are "Biting the Dust -
The Wild Ride and dark Romance of the Rodeo Cowboy and the American
West" and "Biting the Dust - The Joys of Housework".

I believe it was "Civilization".
