Excerpt from Something About Leather: Being a Collection of Entertaining Facts Not Commonly Known Concerning Various Skins Also What Is Made of Them With a Very Brief Sketch of the History of Tanning Somehow people associate certain ideas of mental capacity with certain trades, not because there is any adequate reason for it, to be sure, but from long usage. Why it should be considered eminently respectable to be a brewer, but quite out of the question to be an hotel keeper, is rather beyond the understanding of the ordinary intelligence, or even, so for as I have been able to find out, of the extraordinary intelligence. Among the trades which have had the misfortune to fall especially under the ban of society at all times, are those of the soap maker and the tanner. Now, in my mind, the making of soap is one of the noblest of all occupations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Excerpt: ...consequence of misspent, wasted time it is, to be sure, a punishment; none of us can escape the direct results of our own actions. In another sense, however, it is merely a fresh opportunity--a chance to substitute success for failure, to make good at a different kind of work. It is in this light that you must try and regard it, son. I want to make a man of you if I can. I must make a man of you. You are the only child I have, and if I stand by and allow you to make a fizzle of your life I shall be quite as much to blame as you. Remember that unhappy as you are this affair is costing me something, too."There was a break in Mr. Coddington's voice.As the boy raised his head and looked into the face bending over him he read in it an expression quite new--a softness and sympathy that he had never before caught in the gray eyes which, but a moment previous, had regarded him so sternly.As a result when Peter answered much of the bitterness had crept out of his tone."I suppose all the...

Leather has been covering human bodies since hefty pelts first protected prehistoric cave-dwellers. Since then, we have chiseled leather into an infinite number of different forms, and today, top designers create stunning leather pieces crafted as finely as precious jewels. A living material that is sculpted by the body's own habits, leather has run the gamut of fashion styles in the 20th century, and is able to represent innumerable attitudes, from the tough virility of the Hells Angels to the sleek elegance of a smooth thigh boot.

Cows and humans have enjoyed a millennia-long relationship. They graze, and we milk them, eat them, and turn them into furniture. Perhaps this is something of a one-sided relationship, but to this day cows continue to influence our day-to-day lives through their representation in children's toy farms and the many bovine products they provide. One of the most luxurious ways cows contribute to our daily lives, the focus of this book, is leather. Cows offer such a variety of highly valued products that to focus on any one of them would merit a book of its own. While the journey a cow takes from the field to the dinner table is fairly straightforward and familiar to most, the production of leather for couches, sofas, straps, and bags, all the way to Jimmy Choos, whips, and Rolex straps, is a whole world of its own. There is a whole process of leather production that is unfamiliar to many. Inside Sitting on Cows!, you'll learn all about: The many ways in which cows influence our lives and the many features of daily life that we owe to these mighty beasts The processes involved in creating the wide variety of leathers used today for things so popular that you never thought to ask where they come from The many ways leather can be used in a range of industries and crafts to create the incredible and long-lasting products we enjoy The challenges of modern leathermaking for leatherworkers, the environment, and of course cows, as well as the solutions that are being developed On top of these detailed discussions on leather itself, you'll also find the histories of a selection of leather products from throughout the ages, from sporting goods to medical equipment. Leather upholstery has been fundamental to humanity for thousands of years and is still a significant feature of a multitude of objects we use daily. If you're looking for an amusing and enlightening book that will broaden your understanding of leather, as well as change the way you see humanity's relationship with the humble cow, then look no further than Sitting on Cows!
