A
fascinating, often-gruesome, account of the use of torture
throughout history, this work is meticulously researched, and
enhanced by 110 etchings, photos, and paintings.
This is a very well-done photographic essay on body piercing. The photos
are imaginative, technically excellent, and more than a few display
a wry wit.
Each copy comes with an hour-long VideoCD (which can be played in most DVD players). This is without any exaggeration one of the most beautiful, important, and revealing looks at body modification culture.
