The collection is richly illustrated with artwork, photography, collage and mixed media. The book is a heterodox compendium of 'beasts of waste', playfully re-imagining the medieval treatise on various kinds of animal. It conveys the message that various forms of waste and pollution have achieved a beast-like or untameable quality, at times pungently transferring to considerations of 'the human', or humans treated as waste. Praise for Wastiary ' Wastiary is a rich, stimulating and beautifully composed volume, not least courtesy of a very welcome emphasis on the visual. The comprehensiveness and variety of views, styles of writing, as much as disciplinary stances, and the embedded diversity of the book make for a recognisable intervention into waste/discard studies that can certainly capture the eye of the expert but also pique the appetite of the novice.'
