A Brief History of Nakedness. From ancient Greece and Rome to Spencer Tunick and Dolly Parton (“Sometimes I like to run naked in the moonlight and the wind, on a little trail behind our house, when the honeysuckle blooms. It’s a feeling of freedom, so close to God and nature.”), a look at the the idea of nudity from then until now. Fascinating.

More on the book in an interview with the author, Philip Carr-Gomm, in The New Yorker.
