Synopsis
The cow is perhaps the world's most appealing animal. Why do we love cows? Sara Rath answers that question and more in this book, a light-hearted yet serious look at dairy and beef cows of the world-both familiar and not-so-familiar. From ancient myths to a breed encyclopaedia to a whimsical look at the fun pop culture surrounding famous cows, this book has it all. In exploring our almost innate love of cows, Rath delivers an informative and entertaining summary of bovines around the world. Remarkably readable and inviting, 'The Complete Cow' is beautifully illustrated with large-format colour photographs of all breeds and is the first book to feature cows from around the globe, both past and present. Great colour photography is accented by images both humorous (from cartoonists such as Gary Larson) and romantic (in pastoral paintings by Vincent Van Gogh and others). Along the way readers will discover all kinds of bovine trivia: how to say 'moo', 'cow', and 'cowpie' in many languages, a fascinating cow migration map, advice on naming a cow, and more.

From the Author
Exploring a world-wide love of cows, their history and more.
In this book I wanted to define "the Spirit of Moo," an almost inborn love of cows that we and our ancestors have experienced since the beginning of time. I also wanted to tell this story in an entertaining and engaging fashion so it would appeal to people who live in the city as well as on ranches and dairy farms. There are gorgeous, full-color photographs (it is a coffeetable book, after all) with pictures and descriptions of at least 111 breeds from all around the globe, and I've traced the origins, myths, traditions, and unusual customs involving these breeds and others -- to depict The Complete Cow.
