Sinopse

"Leather Material History" explores the expansive story of leather, from its ancient origins as a necessity for survival to its modern role in luxury design. This book examines the ingenious methods cultures worldwide have developed to transform animal hides into durable goods. Interestingly, early tanning methods often utilized natural tannins from plants, demonstrating an early understanding of material science. The book uniquely presents a global perspective on leather, consciously avoiding a solely Eurocentric viewpoint. It traces the evolution of leather production across three sections: traditional tanning methods, the industrialization of leather production (including the rise of large-scale leather industry), and contemporary uses in fashion and other luxury goods. Understanding the history of technology involved, from basic preservation to complex industrial processes, is crucial for appreciating leather's cultural significance and environmental impact. The book uses historical sources, archaeological evidence, and case studies to support its comprehensive account.

A History of Some of China’s...

Editors Charles River

China has always fascinated outsiders, much in the same way that distant light fascinates someone looking down a dark road. It is both familiar and mysterious, ancient and new, and fully understanding it seems to always remain just out of reach. From the Great Wall to the ancient teachings of Confucius, China’s natural and man-made wonders have been topics of interest among Westerners since the Middle Ages and the pursuit of trade routes both by land and sea, amazing Marco Polo and 19th century British expeditions in similar ways despite the passage of several centuries between them.
The Great Wall of China is perhaps the wonder of the world that has most captured the human imagination, and as the quotes about it indicate, the wall has acquired special significance even outside of China. The places and ways in which it has taken hold vary greatly, but one thing is certain: the Great Wall of China is as amazing as it is mysterious, and it’s as mundane as it is magical. Naturally, the Wall has become the most recognizable symbol of China, used for both aggrandizement and criticism. Nationalists see it as a symbol of China's peaceful nature, engineering capability, and historic longevity, while detractors see the Wall as the embodiment of China's backwardness, closed-mindedness, and hubris. Though the wall can symbolize all of these things about China, it is important to remember that the many long walls. upon some of which the current landmark was constructed, were put up by specific people for specific purposes.
People across the world were excited when it was revealed in 1974 that archaeologists had uncovered a new and amazing find: an underground army consisting of thousands of clay soldiers, still standing at their posts despite being over 2,000 years old. In addition to the remarkable feats of craftsmanship and the size and scale of the Terracotta Army, modern people could not quite wrap their minds around.
