Do you know what an ordinary tree can become? A lot of things: a guitar, a pencil, a chair, paper, fabric....
A few centuries ago, both children and adults knew very well how to create a variety of things. People prepared their own food, and for this purpose they grew plants and bred animals. They spun wool for clothes and sewed them. They made toys out of wood and cloth. When machines were used for production, people became less and less familiar with the things around them. They also made things out of things that no one had ever thought of before. For example, from petroleum, which can be turned not only into fuel, but also into clothes, toys, buttons, and food film. Thanks to this book, you will go step by step through all the stages of production of many necessary things. You will visit factories and plants, learn how oil and salt are extracted, see how food, clothes and many other things we use every day are made. Open the door to the magical world of transforming simple materials into complex objects and you'll be amazed at how many wonders are hidden everywhere!
