Have you ever wondered why the academic hat is so peculiar?

How did it become a square hat with a tail?

And why is it worn at graduation ceremonies around the world?

This book explores the mystery behind the academic hat so you can begin to recognise its historical roots. The Hat and Tail delves into mathematics, astronomy and mythical stories in search of insights. It successfully links these to reasons for the hat's eccentricities. The Hat and Tail will open your eyes to astonishing research that has been explained before. It is a unique book that will equip you with a true understanding of the mystery so many accept but do not understand. So, if you want to grasp how this hat encompasses all of what the university represents, this will be an exciting read.
