"[A] brilliant, really wonderful and unique book...[E]xceptionally interesting to people who know nothing of the technical aspects of the subject."--Mark M. Green, Polytechnic University, Brooklyn, NY"During his career as an analytical chemist in the rubber industry, Loadman was often asked by museums and art galleries to help identify and conserve old rubber items. His interest in the history of rubber grew, and gradually encompassed the health, safety, and environmental concerns of natural and synthetic rubbers. Here he offers a history of rubber from its first use in Mesoamerica about 1600 BC to the present."--SciTech Book News"Interesting reading for the history of science buff as well as an informational addition to academic science collections."--CHOICE, 'The story is told in interesting detail.'Robert W.
