Produktbeschreibung
Cotton and Innovation reveals the surprising and pervasive role of cotton in shaping our world, arguing that this seemingly simple fiber has been a catalyst for innovation across science, history, and technology. The book explores how cotton's unique properties, derived from plant biology and material science, have fueled advancements far beyond textiles, including unexpected applications in medical technologies and sustainable materials. Readers will discover how cotton's accessibility spurred inventions from the cotton gin, which revolutionized production, to advanced wound dressings, impacting both economies and individual well-being. The book examines cotton's pivotal role in economic growth, particularly during the Industrial Revolution, while also addressing the social structures and ethical implications tied to its cultivation and trade. It progresses from the botany of cotton and its advantages over other natural fibers to the historical development of cotton cultivation and its modern applications in medicine, engineering, and environmental science. By highlighting cotton as a driver of innovation, rather than just a commodity, the book offers a fresh perspective on its overlooked contributions to progress. The study is structured into three parts, exploring cotton's botanical and material science, its historical influence on economic and social structures, and its contemporary applications. By bridging gaps between scientific understanding and historical context, Cotton and Innovation provides valuable insights for researchers in textile science, economic history, and materials engineering, while also appealing to anyone interested in the history of technology and the global impact of everyday materials.
