Résumé

In this title Michael Sims simultaneously explores the natural history of the body and the cultural history that records our response to it. Divided into sections corresponding with various body parts, this almanac explores every aspect of thehuman form - from the largest organ (the skin) to the evolutionary reasoning behind sexually attractive body parts - witness the cult of aprodite kalipygos ("the goddess with the beautiful buttocks").
