A Selection of the Scientific American, History, and BOMC2 Book Clubs Whether discussing the ideal human form in classical antiquity, the impressive depth of the arching soles on the figures in Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, an array of foot maladies and how they have affected luminaries from Lord Byron to Benjamin Franklin, or the racy history of foot fetishism, Rinzler has created a wonderfully engaging cultural biography of our lowest extremities. This is social history and popular science writing at its most entertaining—page after page of fascinating facts, based around the playful notion that appreciating this often overlooked part of our body is essential to understanding what it is to be human.
