From the earliest needles of 25,000 years ago to techno textiles used in Space Shuttle parachutes today, textiles have been fundamental to human existence and achievements, and have informed developments in other areas from agriculture to metallurgy. Textiles are global commodities, common to every culture and for a long time the motivation for trade, the exchange of ideas, and sometimes even conflict. Silks from China, carpets from Persia, ikats from Indonesia, cottons from India, fine linens from Flanders--each of these has helped to shape the modern world. This groundbreaking book surveys, from prehistory to the early twenty-first century, how textiles are made, what they are made from, how they function in society, the ways in which they are valued and given meaning, and the messages they contain. The author shows the intricate relationships between different cultures' textile traditions and demonstrates the significance of the materials we all take for granted in our everyday lives.

Covers all my passes
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
I've used several brands of eye wipes and I think I'll stop looking any further after using these. The wipes are super moist and the largest I've come by. They are soft thick wipes which I appreciate especially after say cutting grass or any outdoor activities that might attract pollen or dust to my lids. I've used some that are very thin and felt harsh. My skin feels clean yet moisturized after using them. I'm totally happy that my lids are not burning and itchy anymore.

Relief for your eyes if work on the computer
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
I have been using these wipes for a long time and have been great for my sensitive eyes. Even though I use blue light glasses and toned my monitors for work my eyes would sting like lemons were put on it. After I use these wipes it cools down my eyes and makes it better again. I really recommend these wipes for anyone that has this issue too because it was hard to drive my car when my eyes acted up but after I use the wipes the drive home from the office is like nothing occurred. These wipes dont sting when you use them like the walgreens version does. It honestly feels like a relief when you use them is the best I can describe it. I keep these in my purse, work bag and office drawer since these are individual wipes.

The Best Eyelid Wipes!
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
These work great for a gentle cleaning and refreshing of the external areas around the eye by removing dirt, pollen or overnight dryness. Unlike some wipes, the size of these are large enough to do the job while being very portable. The wipes are very soft and biodegradable.
