Free FreeIn the digital age, the demise of paper is confidently predicted. The "paperless office" should have long ago displaced what was disparagingly described as "dead tree ware" but paper remains a pervasive, preferred and permanent medium in all aspects of life.
This illustrated talk by Professor Iain Stevenson traces the history and importance of paper from its (supposed) invention in China two millennia ago to its present role from banknotes to toilet paper. Paper has a secure and diverse future and is arguably the ultimate renewable resource.
Includes wine reception.
