Synopsis

"A Field Guide to the Human Species. On the twenty lavishly illustrated stops along the journey from hair to toes each part of the body is considered from every conceivable angle - anatomy, behaviour, evolution, history and culture. Desmond Morris explores th intriguing (and occasionally bizarre) modifications society has imposed. He explains the reasons behind adornment by painting or tattoing and the mutilation of shaving, cutting and piercing, with a diverting discussion of the role of each body part in the world of magic and religious symbolism"--Publisher's description.
