Book launch: The Devil's Milk- A Social History of Rubber.

Thursday, February 17, 2011 - 18:00

John Tully's book tells the story of humanity’s long encounter with rubber in a kaleidoscopic narrative that regards little as outside its range without losing sight of the commodity in question. With the skill of a master historian and the elegance of a novelist, he presents what amounts to a history of the modern world told through the multiple lives of rubber. Readings Bookshop, Lygon Street, Carlton. Drinks and light refreshments provided.
