The Naked Man: A study of the male body Hardcover – International Edition, January 22, 2008

If you've read The Naked Woman, I must warn you that he repeats a lot of the things he said in that book (due to the fact that men and women do have some similarities). Otherwise, it is a nice book. The only bit which irks me is the last chapter of the book, where he offers an almost Freudian interpretation of homosexuality. It doesn't urk me because it offends me (I care for the truth no matter how it may hurt me or offend others), but because it seems completely wrong. I'm not a biologist, so take my word with a grain of salt, but I see no reason to believe that homosexuals are homosexual because they didn't outgrow a phase in their youth (which is what he suggests).

I definitely have grown to appreciate my body and the male form as a whole. Sometimes the descriptions are overly dramatic or the origins of certain things, that no one can really verify, are spoken of in very matter-of-fact manner as opposed to a more reasonable, "we think this is what happened given the information we have so far." Only time will tell if this love-letter to the human body becomes increasingly dated with time or if the overall sincerity of affection will allow this work to transcend

I do Like the way the book was written up. Only wish is that it came with some images.

A fine collection of facts bound to astound readers of a very ample range. It's easy to read and not at all boring. I have read other books by the author and I must say that this one improved my knowledge of the matter. The author deal masterfully with the theme.

I recommend you purchase this book with the companion "The Naked Woman". They are a great analysis of what makes us human, both male and female.

An interesting study of sorts. But I would have been more interested if I were about 12 or 13. Desmond Morris has definitely caused a lot of interesting cocktail talk for my generation.

The book itself was in great shape. Images crisp and not worn. Have not read it yet but otherwise happy with the product.

It is an eye opener a very well written book

This book is informative and clearly written by Desmond Morris, who is a worldwide authority on species (Both Human and Animal)his knowldeg is unquestionable.I wasn't particularly overwhelmed by the book, although that is just my personal opinion.

top class and very informative

A valuable book for anyone who wants to expand its knowledge on the male body. Greatly informative it will make you see and better understand the male condition in nature and everyday life.
