Smart and encyclopaedic...a lively and frequently surprising history of what we reuse and what we throw away. ― The i Paper

Brilliantly researched and stuffed to the brim with weird and wonderful facts. Rummage lifts the lid on rubbish to reveal the story of reuse and recycling in all its fascinating glory. -- Lara Maiklem, author ― Mudlarking

Brilliantly original ... shimmering book. ... What binds this book together and gives it a numinous quality is the tenderness that the author displays for other people's ingenious leftovers, from brotherly teeth to Puritan kites.― Guardian

《翻箱倒柜》讲述了我们被忽视的被丢弃的过去的故事。艾米丽·科凯恩从过去几个世纪的垃圾堆中发掘出金玉瑰宝，并向我们介绍了那些有远见的人、骗子和每天都在行善的人，正是他们塑造了我们今天生活的物质世界——比如第一次世界大战中那些把狗毛变成纱线的时髦女士们，或者维多利亚时代的绅士们，他们出售用纸糊成的钢琴，又或者是那些不幸的公务员们，他们为了更伟大的利益而哄骗人们放弃他们的栏杆。在这段原始而迷人的新历史中，科凯恩阐明了我们与垃圾的关系：从我们如何再利用和回收物品(哪种更好)这个简单的问题，到过去人们使用的所有奇怪而美妙的方式。她揭露了为下一代塑造世界的隐性工作(通常是女性做的)，她还展示了我们可以从过去汲取哪些教训，来解决我们今天面临的紧迫浪费问题。

Rummage tells the overlooked story of our throwaway past. Emily Cockayne extracts glittering gems from the rubbish pile of centuries past and introduces us to the visionaries, crooks and everyday do-gooders who have shaped the material world we live in today - like the fancy ladies of the First World War who turned dog hair into yarn, or the Victorian gentlemen selling pianofortes made from papier-mache, or the hapless public servants coaxing people into giving up their railings for the greater good. In this original and fascinating new history, Cockayne illuminates our relationship to our rubbish: from the simple question of how we reuse and recycle things (and which is better), to all the weird and wonderful ways it's been done in the past. She exposes the hidden work (often done by women) that has gone into shaping the world for each future generation, and she shows what lessons can be drawn from the past to address urgent questions of our waste today.
