The Long Chain
Streaming video - 1978
Burke traces the invention of the fluyt freighter in Holland in the 16th Century, which - via the development of tar designed for ship hulls - eventually leads to the discovery of ammonia. The search for artificial quinine to treat malaria led to the invention of artificial dyes, which Germany used to produce fertilizers which ultimately led to the discovery of polymers like Nylon by DuPont.
