Days later, jet-lagged and jarred, Greg Holdsworth stood beside his father-in-law's open coffin in New Zealand and tapped a handle with his fingernail.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt was plastic, coated to look like metal. The timber wasn't what it looked like either. Mike had spent his weekends restoring wooden yachts - and he'd been sent off in a box about as authentic as a Chinatown Rolex. Nobody said a word.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLeave No Trace\u003c\/em\u003e is the story of what happened next: a design project that became an eco coffin, a garage that became a factory, and a small New Zealand company that quietly changed what a funeral could look like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReturn To Sender began with plywood, stubbornness and a conviction that the last object we ever use ought to mean something. It ended with a design exhibited at the Smithsonian's Cooper Hewitt in New York, a shelf of awards, an industry rethinking its habits - and an abrupt, unplanned exit that turned out to be the best thing that could have happened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart memoir, part design story, part argument for doing death better.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFunny, unsentimental and unexpectedly moving, this is a book about grief, craft, green burial and the strange business of building something new inside one of the world's most conservative industries. You'll never look at a coffin the same way again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67677789323500,"sku":"9781764601306","price":53.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781764601306-leave-no-trace-1.jpg?v=1791501853","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/leave-no-trace-by-greg-holdsworth-9781764601306","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
