Rowan Robinson: The Hemp Manifesto

By GILBERT WONG

Nandor Tanczos' kind of book, surely? This little edition contains 101 ways that industrial hemp, not cannabis, has been used to benefit humankind.

Robinson reveals that hemp was used to make the canvases for many of the great painters from Rembrandt to Van Gogh, while the Egyptians relied on slave power employing hemp cordage to build the Pyramids.

A light and amusing collection of facts, it does make one wonder why hemp hasn't taken over the world.
