Synopsis

"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.

Now acclaimed music writer Jeff Apter recounts Carl Perkins's remarkable life story—the triumphs, tragedies, and career highlights that include some of the most pivotal moments in music history. 
 
 
 
Born in Tennessee to poor sharecroppers, Carl grew up listening to gospel and country music, learned blues guitar from a fellow field hand, and started writing songs at age fourteen. He plied his trade in rowdy honky-tonks, performing with his brothers before beginning his recording career at the legendary Sun Studio in Memphis. It was there that Carl became a member of the fabled Million Dollar Quartet, alongside Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis. In 1955, he wrote and recorded "Blue Suede Shoes," the first record by a Sun artist to sell over a million copies. But then a fateful car crash stalled his career, one of many tragedies in Carl's life. Over the following decades, countless artists performed and recorded his songs and became Carl's friends, collaborators, and champions. Rich with insider detail and background into Carl's private battles, humanitarian work, and personal inspirations, this is a fascinating, in-depth look at his one-of-a-kind legacy.
