    Summary: 
    Discusses the significance of fabric throughout human history, from the Stone Age to the 21st century--integrating craft, art, science, history, and anthropology and drawing on examples from around the globe. Covers topics such as the universality of textiles in human language and experience; their social role in bonding families and communities, from sewing bees to guerrilla knitting; the importance of textiles in world trade; the many spiritual and sacred aspects of fiber and textiles; and the work of artists who use textiles as their medium.
