The sun enabled life to evolve on earth which makes us people of the sun and explains the biological imperative that draws us to its soothing warmth. SUNBATHING looks at this immutable connection and how, through a combination of events, a "golden tan" became a symbol of social status. Being outdoors - working, playing sports or just sunbathing - exposes us to the dangers of the sun. This book tells how to protect against overexposure to the sun with clothing, sunscreens and sunblocks and even the food we eat. It also lists the world's most popular destinations for sunworshippers with: season; temperature range; available sports; and ways to get there.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
A "tanner's manual...with a wealth of info" for the more than 250 million sunseeekers around the world. "Simply written and lavishly illustrated", SUNBATHING explains the biological imperative which draws us to the warming sun and the fascinating events which led people to believe that "a cocoa-brown tan...makes them look and feel more attractive, healthy and, curiously, rich". The book explains the ABCs of solar radiation, the good and bad it does to our skin, the best means of protection against overexposure, and how best to treat sunburn. "Whether on a luxury cruise, ski slope or a sunny beach", you should have this "very interesting and informative book that will insure more fun in the sun". -- From the Publisher
