The name of Nobel usually calls to mind Alfred Nobel, inventor of dynamite, and the internationally prestigious prizes that bear his name. But Alfred was only one member of a creative and innovative family who built an industrial empire in prerevolutionary Russia. The saga begins with an emigr from Sweden, Immanuel Nobel, who was an architect, a pioneer producer of steam engines, and a maker of armaments, including the underwater mines that were widely used in the Crimean War. Immanuel's sons included Alfred; Robert, who directed the family's activities in the Caspian oil fields; and Ludwig, an engineering genius and manufacturing magnate whose boundless energy and fierce determination created the Russian petroleum industry. Ludwig's son Emanuel showed similar mettle, shrewdly bargaining with the Rothschilds for control of the Russian markets and competing head-on with Standard Oil, Royal Dutch, and Shell for lucrative world markets. Emanuel not only expanded the Russian oil industry but also helped to modernize the Russian navy and commanded a fleet of three hundred ships. Perhaps no family in history has played so decisive a role in building an industrial empire in an underdeveloped but resource-rich nation. Yet the achievements of the Nobel family have been largely forgotten.Binding Type: Paperback

100% RECOMMEND
Super cute comes with a stand perfect to place as a decoration. Comes clean and cured also with instructions on how to take care of its perfect since its my first ever bamboo product. Not too heavy and has non slip things in the bottom for when cutting it doesn’t slip. I 100% recommend not only that it’s very affordable for the quality you might think its expensive because it feels expensive!!

Will buy again !
I recently got this bamboo cutting board set and I’m really happy with it. The set comes with multiple sizes, which makes it super convenient for different tasks—smaller boards for quick prep and larger ones for bigger meals. The built-in grooves are a great touch, helping catch juices and keep the counter clean.
The boards feel sturdy and well-made, but still lightweight enough to handle easily. I also like the natural bamboo look—it adds a nice, clean aesthetic to the kitchen. The included stand is a bonus, keeping everything organized and easy to access.
Overall, this is a practical and stylish set that works great for everyday use. Definitely a solid value and something I’d recommend to anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen essentials.
