Cotton: The Fabric that Made the Modern World
Riello, Giorgio (University of Warwick)
A fascinating account of how cotton transformed the world we live in today: it industrialised Europe and became the first item to be traded globally. It ranges from Asian and European technologies and African slavery to cotton plantations in the Americas and consumer desires across the globe.
