About the Book

The leather industry generates in the order of 100 billion dollars a year worldwide. Written by the leading expert in the field, this unique book contains the distilled essence of leather science from both a practical and a theoretical point of view. It encompasses the chemistries and mechanisms of tanning, together with the latest thinking on the fundamental principles of collagen stabilisation. Aimed at students as well as experienced practitioners in the art, this is the only current text on tanning science. It includes a subject index, references and glossary.
About the Author: Anthony D Covington is Emeritus Professor of Leather Science at the University of Northampton, UK. The book is the culmination of a 40 year career in chemistry and the leather industry which started with a graduateship of the Royal Institute of Chemistry (now the Royal Society of Chemistry) at Teesside Polytechnic (now the University of Teesside). He continued his chemistry experience with doctoral studies in physical organic chemistry at Stirling University, followed by post doctoral research in physical chemistry at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. Professor Covington then joined the British Leather Manufacturers' Association (later to become BLC The Leather Technology Centre of Northampton, UK), where he spent 18 years engaged in research and development, industrial consultancy and problem solving in the UK and overseas. From 1995-7, he was President of the International Union of Leather Technologists and Chemists Societies (IULTCS) and since 1995 he has been with the British School of Leather Technology of the University of Northampton. Professor Covington has 21 doctoral completions and 230 technical publications to his name.
