Whether discussing the ideal human form in classical
antiquity, the impressive depth of the arching soles on the
figures in Botticelli's Birth of Venus, an array of
foot maladies and how they have affected luminaries from Lord
Byron to Benjamin Franklin, or the racy history of foot
fetishism, Carol Ann Rinzler has created a wonderfully
engaging cultural biography of our lowest extremities. This
is social history and popular science writing at its most
entertaining--page after page of fascinating
facts.
"Stylish, informative, entertaining, and pleasantly
personal . . . Whether Rinzler is exploring how our feet
explain or illuminate such topics as evolution, disability,
racism, diet, or desire, she maintains a fascinating
perspective on the peculiarities of being human."
--Rain Taxi Review of Books
"This neat little book draws a clear picture of our feet,
providing understanding that extends far beyond the obvious.
Readers often like to walk away from a book feeling they
learned something--that the author left them with a new way
to look at an old idea, and this book fulfills that
need." City Book Review/San
Francisco & Sacramento (five stars)
"Rinzler clearly enjoyed researching her subject and
can't stop herself from going on interesting
digressions, often bringing up one or two mostly unrelated
topics within the course of a paragraph. She's at her
best when discussing medical history and etymology."
-- Library Journal
"Rinzler lifts the lowly human foot to new heights in this
appealing book." --Booklist (starred
review)
"An in-depth look at the anatomy and history of feet
reveals their often overlooked importance in human
evolution, medicine and art." --Science
News
"Carol Ann Rinzler weaves together material from art,
literature, science, and history to broaden our understanding
of the human foot. Her book is by turns entertaining,
enlightening, and altogether satisfying." --Congresswoman
CAROLYN B. MALONEY
"Among the many pleasures of this book are the
intriguing subject, Carol Ann Rinzler's lively and accessible
writing style, and the amazing array of information she has
gathered from so many different fields, including art,
anthropology, history, biology, linguistics, psychology, and
literature. Who knew that the story of our own feet could be
so fascinating?"
--SANDRA OPDYCKE, author of No One Was Turned
Away and Jane Addams and Her Vision for
America
"This book will amaze you as it walks you through
evolution, history, mythology, and a good dose of anatomy, to
enlighten you about the role of the Humble Human Foot in
bringing human beings to where we are today. Thoroughly
enjoyable, informative, and well written, it is a must read
for anyone involved in caring for our lower extremity--or
interested in our evolution. In short, you will never view
the foot the same again."
--GARY STONES, DPM, President, New York State
Podiatric Medical Association
"Carol Ann Rinzler has written a surprising and
delightful book about this 'underwhelming, underreported, and
completely indispensable' part of the human body. It's
amazing what you'll learn!"
