All textiles start with a twist. From vibrant 30,000-year outdated threads discovered on the ground of a Georgian cave to what the linen wrappings of Tutankhamun’s mummy really meant; from the Silk Roads to the woollen sails that helped the Vikings attain America 700 years earlier than Columbus; from the lace ruffs that infuriated the puritans to the Indian calicoes and chintzes that powered the Industrial Revolution, our persevering with reinvention of fabric tells fascinating tales of human ingenuity.
After we discuss of lives hanging by a thread, being interwoven, or a part of the social cloth, we’re a part of a practice that stretches again many 1000’s of years. Material has allowed us to attain extraordinary issues and survive in unlikely locations, and this e-book reveals you the way — and why.
With a solid that features Chinese language empresses, Richard the Lionheart and Bing Crosby, Kassia St Clair takes us on the run with escaped slaves, climbing the slopes of Everest and moonwalking with astronauts. Working like a brilliant line by means of historical past, The Golden Thread presents an unforgettable journey by means of our previous, current and future.
