Krátky popis
An updated edition of this indispensable reference, surveying the
history of textiles from 25,000 years ago to the present. The
history of textiles, more than that of any other artefact, is a
history of human ingenuity. From the very earliest needles of
25,000 years ago to the smart textiles of today, textiles have been
fundamental to human existence, and enjoyed, prized and valued by
every culture.Silks from China, cottons from India, tapestries from
Flanders, dyes from South America - the appeal of different weaves,
colours and patterns was long a motivation for trade, the exchange
of ideas and sometimes even war. Mary Schoeser's groundbreaking
book, now revised and updated to incorporate new research, presents
a chronological survey of textiles around the world from prehistory
to the present. It explores how they are made, what they are made
from, how they function in society and the ways in which they are
valued and given meaning as well as reflecting on the environmental
challenges they present today.World Textiles offers an invaluable
introduction to this vast and fascinating subject for makers,
designers, textile and fashion professionals, collectors and
students alike.
