Lycra: How A Fiber Shaped America (repost)

Lycra: How A Fiber Shaped America by Kaori O'Connor
English | 2011 | ISBN-10: 0415804361, 041580437X | PDF | 192 pages | 3 MB

Lycra describes the development of a specific fabric, but in the process provides students with rare insights into U.S. corporate history, the changing image of women in America, and how a seemingly doomed product came to occupy a position never imagined by its inventors and contained in the wardrobe of virtually every American. And it will generate lively discussion of the story of the relationship between technology, science and society over the past half a century.
