Publisher's Summary

As the old chemical works in Leith are demolished, a long deceased body encrusted in phosphate rock is discovered. Seated at a card table, he has 10 objects laid out in front of him. Whose body is it? How did he die, and what is the significance of the objects?

Phosphate Rocks: A Death in 10 Objects unravels the mystery using a mix of real life anecdote, scientific explanation and a touch of fiction, woven together to create a vivid account of the life and decline of a factory over five decades.

Science made fun

High school science should have been formatted this way.
Fabulous story set in a fertilizer plant,
which proceeds to educate us,
best science class yet.
Thank you Fiona Erskine :-)
