Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The strange and surprising history of the so-called epidemic of bad posture in modern Americafrom eugenics and posture pageants to today's promoters of "paleo posture"In 1995, a scandal erupted when the New York Times revealed that the Smithsonian possessed a century's worth of nude "posture" photos of college students.
