Skin: A Natural History door Nina G. Jablonski

Skin. The organ you probably take the most for granted. It seems extremely simple, but as Nina G. Jablonski shows us in this book, Skin: A Natural History, it is extremely complex. I chose this book for my alternate reading assignment in my Biological Anthropology class this past semester, and it's fascinating. She goes over, of course, the "basics" that most (if not all) of us know from our introductory biology courses in high school or college, but she takes it a little more in depth as well. ...

Skin: A Natural History door Nina G. Jablonski

This is a fabulous, very interesting book. Jablonski covers everything from the evolution of skin in various animals, skin color, and senses to cultural differences and skin ornamentation. If you have any interest in these topics, you will love this book. It's very scientific and factual, but written in a way that is easily accessible to those without a strong science background.
