The jute industry
Thomas Woodhouse and Peter Kilgour
From a tall tropical stalk comes the cloth of sacks and cordage. Thomas Woodhouse traces jute from seed to finished fabric: its cultivation, its fibers, and the mills that spun an industry. Clear, practical, and rich with the detail of a great commodity trade. A concise history of the humble plant that bagged the world's grain. Follow the fiber from field to loom.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
