New Book from the ICAC

Cotton: Technology for the 21st Century


Six years after the publication of the book Cotton Facts, the ICAC has published a new book called Cotton: Technology for the 21st Century. The book has 16 chapters, each contributed by highly respected and internationally recognized authors from across the world. Cotton: Technology for the 21st Century begins with the origin of the cotton species and ends with a provocative look at how world production and demand may change in the 21st century.

The book is devoted to future trends in ever-changing cotton production technology and research. Pest control, sustainability, biotechnology, fiber quality measurements, yarn processing and dyeing/finishing form substantial parts of the book. The table of contents is available at http:1/6/2011www.icac.org/tis/publications/book/table_of_content_2010.pdf.

The price, which includes shipping, is US$180 and can be ordered at publications@icac.org.

A well presented book from the "Workboots" series is available from the Kondinin Group about the growing of cotton in Australia. Great resource for school projects or general interest.
Educational resource kits are also available.
