PIONEERS OF PLENTY by Christy Borth

PIONEERS OF PLENTY

By

Publisher: Bobbs-Merrill

The story of Chemurgy was published in 1939; the war has hastened things that were brewing then. Paper, flax, castor plants, sweet potatoes, soy beans, plastics, coffee, cotton, --these are a few of the products that research and experimentation have used in helping towards substitution and replacement. Fascinating reading -- this record of a science that aims to abolish scarcity by modern alchemy.
