Let's Go to the Beach: A History of Sun and Fun by the Sea

Angebote / Angebote:

Did you know that women once wore corsets under their bathing suits? Or that "semi-drowning"--strip and plunge--was thought to be healthy? Or that Pudgy Stockton, the body-building queen, opened the country's first gym for women? From the bathhouses of the ancient Greeks to Venice Beach and Coney Island, Let's Go to the Beach takes a well-researched look at beaches and their customs. It explores such transformations as the evolution of the waterways from places of commerce to venues of health and recreation, as well as the bathing suit's revealing journey from full-body cover-up to string bikini.
