That sounds REALLY plausible. I'll see if I can get my hands on it to make sure, but I think that's it! Thanks!
No problem. Actually, I'm really interested in reading this myself. I looked into it a bit more and I think the Japanese balloons and the forensic dirt analysis are in the essay called The Gravel Page, and the tires and the pond are in the essay called Duty of Care.

Yes, I think this one could be shelved. It's got to be the one.

I'm too slow!ETA: Thanks so much! I got my hands on a copy today and this is unquestionably it. How do you guys DO this?
I thought it was going to be about history-- and it did tell me about the geological perspective on the Japanese balloon attacks during WWII. (I hadn't known about that. Only U.S. mainland deaths during the war.) I also learned quite a bit about forensic dirt analysis. There were also two essays about tires-- and the vast problem of what to do with the miles upon miles of used tires. One guy made a vast swan pond.
