Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. There is not just one story of silk. In silk is science, history and mythology. In silk is the future.Aarathi Prasads Silk is a gorgeous new history weaving together the story of a unique material that has fascinated the world for millennia. Through the scientists who have studied silk, and the biology of the animals from which it has been drawn, Prasad explores the global history, natural history, and future of a unique material that has fascinated the world for millennia.For silk, prized for its lightness, luminosity, and beauty is also one of the strongest biological materials ever known. More than a century ago, it was used to make the first bulletproof vest, and yet science has barely even begun to tap its potential. As the technologies it has inspired from sutures to pharmaceuticals, replacement body parts to holograms continue to be developed in laboratories around the world, they are now also beginning to offer a desperately needed, sustainable alternative to the plastics choking our planet.Prasad's Silk is a cultural and biological history from the origins and ancient routes of silk to the biologists who learned the secrets of silk-producing animals, manipulating the habitats and physiologies of moths, spiders and molluscs. Because there is more than one silk, there is more than one story of silk. More than one road, more than one people who discovered it, and wove its threads.From the moths of China, Indonesia and India to the spiders of South America and Madagascar, to the silk-producing molluscs of the Mediterranean, Silk is a book rich in the passionate connections made by women and men of science to the diversity of the animal world. It is an intoxicating mix of biography, intellectual history and science writing that brings to life the human obsession with silk. There is not just one story of silk. In silk is science, history and mythology. In silk is the future.Aarathi Prasads Silk is a gorgeous new history weaving together the story of a unique material that has fascinated the world for millennia.

Hardcover_boards. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. First Printing w/DJ wrapped in mylar. Features: Illustrated, Price on Product. Physical Info: 1.3" H x 9.1" L x 6.1" W (1.05 lbs) 304 pages. Secure ship w/track #. Throughout history, across cultures and countries, silk has reigned as the undeniable queen of fabrics, yet its origins and evolution remain a mystery. In a gorgeous and sweeping narrative, Silk weaves together its intricate story and the indelible mark it has left on humanity. Some four thousand years ago, the cultivation of silkworms began, the practice spreading to the far reaches of civilization. With it came a growing obsession with unlocking silk's secrets to understand how the strongest biological material ever known could be harnessed. Explorers and scientists, including groundbreaking women who pushed the boundaries of societal expectations, dedicated--even sacrificed--their lives to investigate the anatomy of silk-producing animals. They endured unbelievable hardships to discover and collect new specimens, leading them to the moths of China, Indonesia, and India; the spiders of Argentina, Paraguay, and Madagascar; and the mollusks of the Mediterranean. Rich with the complex connections between human and nonhuman worlds, Silk not only peers into the past but also reveals the fiber's impact today, inspiring new technologies across the fashion, military, and medical fields, and shows its untapped potential to pioneer a more sustainable future. The culmination of author and biologist Aarathi Prasad's own lifelong passion and grounded in years of research and writing, Silk is an intoxicating read that provides an essential illumination of nature's most glamourous thread.

Condition: Ottime condizioni. Dettagli LibroSku: PZZLB54969ISBN: 9788833924977Titolo: Storia Naturale Del Concepimento. Come La Scienza Puo Cambiare Le Regole Del SessoAutore: Aarathi PrasadEditore: Bollati BoringhieriAnno: 2014Pagine: 279Formato: RilegatoNel XVI secolo Paracelso credeva che per fare un bambino si dovesse prendere del seme umano, sigillarlo in un'ampolla di vetro, tenerlo nel letame equino per quaranta giorni e infine sottoporlo a magnetizzazione. Il contributo centrale della donna alla procreazione non era nemmeno immaginato. Può sembrare una bizzarria arcaica della quale sorridere, eppure ancora a metà Ottocento il grande naturalista inglese Richard Owen continuava a classificare gli spermatozoi tra i parassiti dell'uomo, ignorandone completamente il significato. Da quelle nebuolose forme di conoscenza sono stati compiuti immensi progressi, e già da tempo, ormai, abbiamo slegato il concepimento dal sesso grazie agli anticoncezionali, rendendo la donna l.
