Sand is the hidden foundation of our society. In Sand Stories, Kiran Pereira maps out why it is the most consumed commodity on the planet after water. The book examines the impacts of our seemingly insatiable demand for sand on people, wildlife and our ecosystems.

The concern is that sand is a non-renewable resource in human timescales and not every kind of sand is useful to industry. The good news is that there are solutions to this alarming global problem, including those that foster a circular economy.
