"Something About Sugar: Its History, Growth, Manufacture and Distribution" by George M. Rolph is a comprehensive scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book explores the multifaceted world of sugar, delving into its history, cultivation practices, and the intricate processes involved in its manufacturing and distribution. It aims to inform a broad audience, especially the layman and students, about the complexity and significance of sugar as a commodity.
