Description
This fascinating new book explores how one of the world’s most important products starts out as sap from a tropical tree and ends up as tires on your family car. Find out how this sap was used in ancient times, how early rubber barons prospered in South America, how they treated their laborers, and the environmental dangers of producing both natural and synthetic rubber.
