It combines historical dyeing traditions with modern scientific analysis, emphasizing sustainable, eco-friendly colorants. Highly rated and essential for artists, historians, and eco-conscious creatives, this book bridges ancient craft with contemporary relevance. ## Description At a time when more and more plants and animals are threatened with extinction by humanity's ever-increasing pressure on the land and oceans of the planet, this book sets out to record sources of colorants discovered and used on all the continents from antiquity until the present day. Some 300 plants and 30 animals (marine molluscs and scale insects) are illustrated and discussed by the author, whose passion for natural dyes, with their colors of unequalled richness and subtlety, has taken her across the globe in search of dye sources and dyers. Botanical and zoological details are given for each source and chemical structures for each dye. Dyes employed by different civilizations are illustrated and relevant historical recipes and detailed descriptions of dyeing-processes by traditional dyers are quoted and explained in the light of modern science. Other current uses of such colorants, such as in medicine, and as colorants for food and cosmetics, are also noted. Although natural dyes have been largely replaced by synthetic dyes, increasing worldwide awareness of the harmful consequences of the pollution resulting from the production and use of some synthetic colorants has led to a significant revival and renewed interest in natural colorants. As potential renewable resources, natural dyes are an integral part of the major issue of our time: sustainable development. The aim of this book is to provide a scientific background for this important debate. Review: Absolutely the best book on natural dyes - This book is worth every cent. Clearly we’ll researched and we’ll written! Review: Natural Dyes - Priceless source for people into natural dyes. Its pretty exhaustive and goes well beyond the usual historic dyes. It covers dyes common and obscure from more than just Europe. That being said, it could really use more information on Japan and China and other areas. However it does far more than the vast majority of dye books. An absoluter MUST HAVE for any dyer's library. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #745,336 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,491 in Arts & Photography Criticism #3,822 in Art History (Books) #52,380 in Science & Math (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 26 Reviews | ## Images ![Natural Dyes - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81IjcY96yjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely the best book on natural dyes *by J***N on August 5, 2022* This book is worth every cent.
