From the phones in our pockets to the food on our plates, manufacturing quietly shapes almost every aspect of modern existence. In Your Life is Manufactured, Tim Minshall reveals the hidden systems, people, and processes that make our world possible. Witty, insightful, and accessible, the book shows how manufacturing drives innovation, connects communities, and influences the biggest challenges of our time, from climate change to global inequality.
