Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. "From Nudity to Raiment" is an expansive and scholarly exploration into the origins and evolution of human clothing. Written by Hilaire Hiler, this work investigates the fundamental transition from primitive nudity to the complex adoption of garments, examining the psychological, social, and environmental factors that drove this shift. Hiler moves beyond a simple chronological history of fashion to provide a deep anthropological analysis of why humans began to adorn themselves, looking at early cultures and the development of aesthetic and functional dress.The work delves into the symbolic meanings of costume, the influence of climate on raiment, and the role of social hierarchy in shaping human appearance across various civilizations. By synthesizing data from ethnography and historical records, "From Nudity to Raiment" offers a comprehensive perspective on the development of personal decoration and its profound impact on human identity. This book serves as a foundational text for those interested in the history of fashion, the anthropology of dress, and the sociological drivers of human behavior. It remains a significant contribution to the study of material culture and the historical progression of human attire.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
