The history of the world can be read in textiles: the rise of civilizations and the fall of empires are woven into them, along with the great stories of conquest, religion, and trade. This comprehensive guide devotes eight sections to materials and techniques, translating the complex universe of textiles into over 100 succinct double-page spreads, each with a thorough summary of characteristics and geographical distributions.
