The book uniquely blends detailed technical instruction with in-depth historical and cultural analysis, demonstrating how the two are inextricably linked.

 
The book guides readers through the entire tanning process, starting with different types of hides and the necessary tools. It systematically explores various tanning methods, such as brain tanning and vegetable tanning, analyzing their chemical processes and the qualities each imparts to the finished leather. Later sections focus on crafting clothing from tanned hides, including patterns and sewing methods. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of traditional crafts and historical techniques, relevant for both history enthusiasts and those interested in homesteading.

 
"Hide Stretching Craft" argues that hide tanning was a cornerstone of family independence, connecting them to the natural world.

Marlena Spieler

But in the shadow of a still-fuming Vesuvio, the love of everyday life is palpable in Naples: that passion for life is the spirit that guides Neapolitan cuisine. You can taste it in everything.    In this tantalizing tour of the culture and cuisine of Napoli, Marlena Spieler reveals the tastes, sights, and sounds of the city and surrounding area (including its islands) in gorgeous detail. Using her own experiences and conversations with others, both tourists and residents alike, she offers us the rich history of this unique culture and cuisine.    “Part travel guide, part cook's memoir, this charming little book delivers a true taste of a quirky, elusive city.” —Barbara Fairchild, former editor-in-chief of Bon Appetit   “This book ought to come with bread, to sop up the extra goodness sloshing over the sides.” —Clark Wolf, author of American Cheeses, restaurant consultant, food writer   “Traipsing through the foodways of Naples with the legendary Marlena Spieler is pure joy.” —Tia Keenan, author of  The Art of the Cheese Plate and cheese columnist for The Wall Street Journal   “Marvelous to read and a joy to cook from.” —Julia della Croce, Italian food expert and James Beard award winning author of Italian Home Cooking   “[Spieler’s] enthusiasm and knowledge will likely inspire travelers to Italy to add a stop on their trip.” ―Publishers Weekly
