Product Information
Imagine a world without rubber - neither tyres for motoring or flying, nor bouncing balls for sports, neither seals for washing machines and dishwashers, nor medical gloves, no elastic! This unique book tells the fascinating story of four thousand years of rubber - from its significance in Mayan religious rituals and culture to its pivotal role in today's world. It is seen through the lives of the adventurers and scientists who promoted it, lusted after it, and eventually tamed it into the ubiquitous and crucial material of our lives today. At the same time, it includes the lives of those who caused the deaths of millions of natives in Africa and South America whilst seeking to satisfy the developing world's lust for this wonderful new material as well as their nemeses.As with any biography, this book considers old age, why rubber deteriorates and how the ravages of time may be ameliorated. In death, it deals with our current concern for the environment and various options for "waste disposal". For the majority of people, rubber is mostly an unknown history and even for those who think they know "the truth" about rubber, this book may offer many surprises.

"A brilliant, really wonderful and unique book ... exceptionally interesting to people who know nothing of the technical aspects of the subject." --Mark M. Green, Polytechnic University, Brooklyn, NY, "[A] brilliant, really wonderful and unique book...[E]xceptionally interesting to people who know nothing of the technical aspects of the subject."--Mark M. Green, Polytechnic University, Brooklyn, NY"During his career as an analytical chemist in the rubber industry, Loadman was often asked by museums and art galleries to help identify and conserve old rubber items. His interest in the history of rubber grew, and gradually encompassed the health, safety, and environmental concerns of natural and synthetic rubbers. Here he offers a history of rubber from its first use in Mesoamerica about 1600 BC to the present."--SciTech Book News"Interesting reading for the history of science buff as well as an informational addition to academic science collections."--CHOICE, 'A brilliant, really wonderful and unique book ... exceptionally interesting to people who know nothing of the technical aspects of the subject.'Mark M.
