The author discusses the taken-for-granted notions of clothing, social behavior, eating, and sex from a number of different viewpoints, and although he's certainly neither an anthropologist, sociologist, or psychologist, he makes some cogent points that would be of interest to those intrigued by those areas, or to anybody who has to live in the world today (guess that means us...). I will confess that I did skip the chapter on Insects as Food, but I plead mitigating circumstances; I hadn't had my morning coffee fix yet. The book is a good afternoon/evening read, and I think I might compare it in some ways to "The Rape of the A.P.E.", by Allen Sherman; it's focus is wider, though. -- ---Rsk UUCP: { decvax, icalqa, ihnp4, inuxc, sequent, uiucdcs } !pur-ee!rsk { decwrl, hplabs, icase, psuvax1, siemens, ucbvax } !purdue!rsk I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints, The sinners are much more fun...and only the good die young!
