Rose George is a British journalist whose books take on subjects that are fundamental to daily life but rarely examined. She started with A Life Removed (2004) and followed it with The Big Necessity (2008), a frank look at global sanitation and the billions of people who lack access to proper toilets.

Ninety Percent of Everything (2013), also published as Deep Sea and Foreign Going, investigated the container shipping industry that moves nearly all of the world’s goods. Nine Pints (2018) turned to blood, covering everything from donation systems to blood-borne diseases. George’s work combines deep reporting with a talent for making unglamorous topics readable and urgent.
