Across the world cattle remain absolutely essential to civilization's survival as a source of food, clothing, and labor. Human beings eat beef and ice cream, drink milk, wear leather, and love hamburgers and hot dogs. This book describes the history of the domestication and deification of the cow and bull and their intimate relation to humans. Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) scares reveal its continued importance in daily life.
«'Sacred Bull, Holy Cow' is a captivating account of the dramatic impact cattle have had on religion, art, history, cuisine, entertainment, and the very survival of humankind throughout the world. One can't help being bullish about this book and the extraordinary scholarship it took to produce it. It is a fun and fascinating read.» (Judson H. Taylor, President Emeritus, State University of New York, Cortland)

The scholarship of early myths and fables is impressive and the writing stimulating. No other book synthesizes so comprehensively how humanity has survived and how the importance of cattle continues to capture the news.» (L. R. Schou, Professor, Danish University of Education, Copenhagen)
