Features: Just flip through this book, and you can deduce from the countless means of sexual attraction ever created in the course of human history that clothing and other forms of body decoration have never been used solely to cover or even protect the body from everyday harm; their fundamental purpose is to make the body more sexually attractive. "The Art of Body Packaging" is a richly informative and scholarly work with stunning visuals, standing out among on human decoration. The book covers a broad range of topics in clothing, from ancient male undergarments and high heels to corseted underwear, from uniforms, wedding dresses, and tailcoats to jeans, and so on. It is also a controversial, visually stimulating, boldly designed, and popularly written book, which is precisely where its success lies in another dimension. Like the tradition of D. Morris (Desmond Morris) and D. Attenborough, this is a monograph by a scholar who has moved out of the academic ivory tower to conduct research in the public sphere.
