About meI'm a historian doing research in the history of business, technology, and the environment at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim. My PhD dissertation (2007) was on the history of the reverse vending machine, used for the return of empty bottles and cans in grocery stores; the deposit-refund systems set up to manage and encourage bottle and can recycling; and the business and political interests working for and against such systems.

About my libraryOne day I will have all my scholarly books cataloged here. It'll be sweet! I have more books than I'll ever need, but as all historians know, you can never have too many books!

Hi fa_scholar (Finn, if I may),

Sory to hear that, but I can't blame you; thanks for getting back to me.
Hello Finn -- Nice book choices. Yay, Adorno. I think I have more in common with you -- bookwise at least -- than most of my fellow Americans. Maybe I should move to Norway. I'd like to see a machine for "reverse consumerism" that would suck up the tons of junk littering America inside and out.
All the best from Overloaded American, ephem, Jan
