Florian Werner examines how cows are worshipped in some circles, such as in Hindu mythology, and abhorred in others, today being vilified as an agent of climate change. And he waxes philosophic about the significance of the cow's rumination and cud chewing, as well as her simple but meaningful moo. Combining thorough research with an accessible writing style, Florian Werner offers readers an eye-opening perspective on this commodified animal, whose existence is inextricably intertwined with ours and which we too often take for granted.
Journalist and author Florian Werner studied American, British, and German literature and has published a number of books in Germany including the non-fiction book Rapocalypse, a study of millenarianist HipHop lyrics, and Dark Matter: The History of S**t, a cultural history of human excrement. When he is not writing, he tours with his band, Fon, and plays soccer for the German national team of writers' Autonama. Werner lives in Berlin. Dr. Temple Grandin is a designer of livestock handling facilities, a Professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University and an accomplished author. In 2010, Time Magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people. A linguist by training, Doris Ecker is a full-time translator and writer based in Vancouver.
