The Science Of Beauty: Culture And Cosmetics In Modern Germany, 1750?930 (Worlds Of Consumption)

Covering a wide swath of German history from the Enlightenment to National Socialism, this book shows that ideals of beauty have always been closely related to a society's conception of itself, from organ transplants to the manufacture of cosmetics. At the same time, body modification has also presented new ways to subvert the social order.
