We expose it, cover it, paint it, tattoo it, scar it, and pierce it. Our intimate connection with the world, skin protects us while advertising our health, our identity, and our individuality. This dazzling synthetic overview is a complete guidebook to the pliable covering that makes us who we are. Skin: A Natural History celebrates the evolution of three unique attributes of human skin: its naked sweatiness, its distinctive sepia rainbow of colors, and its remarkable range of decorations. Jablonski places the rich cultural canvas of skin within its broader biological context for the first time, and the result is a tremendously engaging look at us.

When you meet people, whether they're fully clothed on the street or scantily clad on the beach, the first part of their body that you see, smell, and perhaps touch is the skin.

Nina Jablonski gives us the best and most fascinating account of everything that you might want to know about the packaging of our anatomy.--Jared Diamond, author of Collapse and Guns, Germs, and Steel
This fascinating book traces the long evolutionary history of our integument, revealing a whole host of essential skin functions that most of us have probably never even thought of.--Ian Tattersall, author of The Fossil Trail
An intriguing study of our body's most visible organ. I wish I'd written it myself.--Spencer Wells, author of The Journey of Man
A fascinating and comprehensive account of the biological and cultural aspects of human skin.--John Relethford, SUNY at Oneonta
