Celebrating ingenuity, invention and imagination on a grand scale, "Modern Marvels" tells the amazing stories of the doers, dreamers and sometime-schemers who create everyday items, technological advancements and man-made wonders. From the Statue of Liberty to distilled spirits, and canals to bridges, no subject seems out of reach. Science, technology, electronics, mechanics, engineering, architecture, industry, mass production, manufacturing, and agriculture are just some of the many topics that have been covered during the long-running series.
This program describes the production of sugar from sugarcane, sugar beets and corn and how it is processed into a number of different products. But the real story is the enormous impact that sugar has had on the world economy, trade and politics over the past 300 years.
