Probably the coolest textbook I have ever read. Lots of information packs each page, yet it still manages to be accessible and interesting. One gripe: it claims that sagging breasts can be caused by lack of brassiere wear, which is more a marketing myth of lingerie companies than fact. Still, a great and informative work.
