How Things Are Made: A Journey Through the Hidden World of Manufacturing by Tim Minshall (book cover is in image) takes the listener on a journey through the end to end supply chain, exposing how it works and its fragility. Using natural language makes this volume easy to understand and accessible for all who want to understand the basics of supply chains. I strongly recommend this book as an introduction to those who want to understand this topic.

Just as the title says, How Things Are Made takes us on a manufacturing journey explaining the complex processes involved with making the goods we rely on daily.

I used to love watching the show ‘How It’s Made’ and this book was similar, going through each stage and bringing in real life examples to help us visualize the process. It also explained why we need to start making things on a local level again both for the environment and for the economy. An important read for understanding our interconnectivity and how the things we consume arrive at our door.

A lovely example of science for citizens! This is such a fun book, a great mix of the history of what the world of manufacturing looks like today, how we got here, and where we could be going. The author is funny and makes dense material feel manageable. I hope we'll get a new edition in a decade or so to see how the world has changed.

How Things Are Made is a book that takes you through the manufacturing, shipping and distribution processes that are in place for every product in our lives. This was a very informative book with all the different facets of the processes that get covered. I never really thought about how products get to me and in my hands. 4/5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a free ARC of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

That was so much fun! I cannot wait for the links mentioned throughout the book to go live on his website. I plan on giving this book another read after it comes out so I can look at the links in context.
