The Principles of Leather Manufacture by H. R. Procter
The famous reference source H. R. Procter, The Principles of Leather Manufacture, explores chemistry and the processes undertaken in the manufacture of leather. Starting with a general overview relating to the historical background and introduction concepts in leather manufacture, it points to where the role of the living cell plays, the causative agents for putrefaction, and also to antiseptics and disinfectants. It also covers the chemical content of hides, the structure and growth of skin, and the chemical processes by which it gets tanned - alum, chrome, and vegetable tanning. The book also goes into the matter of physical chemistry of the fibers of hides and water treatment in tanneries and methods for depilation, deliming, and bating. The book is very valuable for any readers interested in the chemical processes involved in leathering, giving both theoretical knowledge and some practical insight into the tanning industry.

Material Science And Engineering
This textbook, authored by Dr. Swati Gangwar and Mr. Kapil Kumar, comprehensively covers the very basics of material science and engineering. Classifications of materials are taken up as metals, polymers, composite materials, and biomaterials; their properties and applications are described. Crystal structures are discussed in terms of Bravais lattices, Miller indices, and atomic packing factor. Students will also be introduced to X-ray crystallography and how it might be applied for the determination of inner structure of the materials. Its clarity in structure and rich detail make it extremely useful for courses ranging from introductory to advanced in material science and engineering. Significant emphasis throughout the text, quite markedly, on the importance of understanding material properties and their relationship with structure toward an effective design and application of an engineering material.
