Sinopsis

"Fabric Damage Examined" explores the science behind why our clothes degrade over time, focusing on the impact of detergents and laundry practices. It examines how detergent chemistry, including surfactant chemistry and enzyme activity, interacts with textile fibers like cotton, wool, and synthetics, leading to fiber degradation. The book reveals that while detergents effectively remove stains, aggressive formulations can compromise the long-term durability of textiles. Microscopic and spectroscopic analyses offer visual evidence of this damage. 

 
The book emphasizes the importance of understanding the composition of both textile fibers and detergent formulations to promote fabric preservation. It highlights the need for a balanced approach to cleaning, advocating for informed choices in detergent selection and gentler washing techniques. Addressing sustainable practices, it emphasizes the need for consumers and the textile industry to adopt practices extending the life of clothing and household textiles. 

 
The book progresses by first introducing fiber science and detailing the chemical composition of textiles. It then examines detergent chemistry, explaining the role of surfactants and enzymes. Finally, it synthesizes this information with case studies illustrating how specific detergents and conditions lead to fabric damage, concluding with practical guidelines for sustainable laundry habits.

Pauline Brown

Longtime leader in the luxury goods sector and former Chairman of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton North America reinvents the art and science of brand-building under the rubric of Aesthetic Intelligence.
In a world in which people have cheap and easy access to most goods and services, yet crave richer and more meaningful experiences, aesthetics has become a key differentiator for most companies and a critical factor of their success and even their survival. In this groundbreaking book, Pauline Brown, a former leader of the world’s top luxury goods company and a pioneer in identifying the role of aesthetics in business, shows executives, entrepreneurs, and other professionals how to harness the power of the senses to create products, services, and experiences that stand out, resonate with their customers, and create long-term value for their businesses. The power is rooted in Aesthetic Intelligence—or “the other AI,” as Brown refers to it.
Aesthetic Intelligence can be learned. Indeed, people are born with far more capacity than they use, but even those that are naturally gifted must continue to refine their skills, lest their aesthetic advantage atrophy. Through a combination of storytelling and practical advice, the author shows how aesthetic intelligence creates business value and how executives, entrepreneurs and others can boost their own AI and successfully apply it to business. Brown offers research, strategies and practical exercises focused on four essential AI skills.
Aesthetic Intelligence provides a crucial roadmap to help business leaders build their businesses in their own authentic and distinctive way. Aesthetic Intelligence is about creating delight, lifting the human spirit, and rousing the imagination through sensorial experiences.

A Book of Noises - Notes on...

Caspar Henderson

Sound shapes our world in invisible but profound ways, and here Caspar Henderson brings his characteristic curiosity, knowledge and sense of wonder to the subject to take us on an exhilarating journey through the heard universe. 
A Book of Noises gathers together sounds from the cosmos, the natural world, the human world, and the invented world, and contains quiet pockets of silence. From the vast sound of sand in the desert to the tuneful warble of a songbird, to the meditative resonance of a temple bell and the improvisational melodies of jazz, this is a celebration of all things auricular. 
The preface is read by Cerys Matthews, and the rest of the book by the author
