By S. Emery
Format:Hardcover
--------------------------
It's the best-ever account of sex, with over 250 eye-popping illustrations (many of them rare) and utterly frank contributions from over 22 distinguished writers.
Including award-winning novelist Philip Hensher on dance, British Museum curator Catherine Johns on the eroticism of classical art, and Will Self on sex, drugs, and virtual reality.
Architect John Pawson (designer of Calvin Klein's flagship Manhattan store) looks at the sensuousness of space and buildings.
Trevor Beattie, creator of some of the hottest advertisements ever, reveals his inspirations.
Yasmin Alibhia-Brown discusses Indian sensuality, while Lesley Downer explores the role of the geisha in Japan.
Victoria Coren asks (and answers) what women want, while Ronald Hyam wonders "whether size matters."
From religion and civilization to law and manners, sex and the arts to the body and technology, it's the most fun you can have with a book in your hands.
Bonus: a chronology of sex.
