"The centuries-old relationship of cows to human beings is a fascinating and complex story. It includes extremes of worship and exploitation, and in between some of the most remarkable contributions of animals to civilization. In Cattle, Laurie Winn Carlson takes an historical view of these noble and gentle beasts. In sharply drawn episodes, she shows how cattle have been a vital resource but long ignored and often neglected."--BOOK JACKET.
