The Body in History : Europe from the Palaeolithic to the Future

Omtale

This book is a long-term history of how the human body has been understood in Europe from the Palaeolithic to the present day. Drawing on the work of a cross-disciplinary team of experts, the authors examine how the body has been treated in life, art and death, and what this tells us about who we are today and who we have been in the past.
