Paperback. For about 900 years, from 1000 to 1900, cotton was the world's most important manufacturing industry. It remains a vast business - if all the cotton bales produced in 2013 had been stacked on top of each other they would have made a somewhat unstable tower 40,000 miles high. This is a history of the cotton in dictating the shape of our world. Num Pages: 640 pages. BIC Classification: 3H; 3J; HBTK; HBTQ; KNDD. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 130 x 196 x 29.
