The Philosophy of Beards: Physiological, Artistic & Historical

Thomas Gowing felt the mighty yet fragile English Beard to be threatened with extinction by an invasive foreign species, the Razor. So he set out to defend the furry face mammal in every conceivable way. The resulting lecture was received so enthusiastically by a bushy audience in Ipswich that it was soon turned into The Philosophy of Beards (1854) - the first book entirely devoted to this subject.ADVERTISEMENTProduct DetailsISBN-13: 9781078706520Publisher: Barnes & Noble PressPublication date: 08/05/2019Pages: 60Product dimensions: 6.00(w) x 9.00(h) x 0.12(d)Customer ReviewsAverage Review 0Be the first to write a reviewWrite a ReviewShare This Item Facebook Twitter Pinterest Google PlusRecently ViewedRelated Searchesbook by john protevibook by jenny odellbook by gianni rodaribook by tahar ben jellounphilosophy bookbook by tommy wieringaExplore More Items Chalk: The Art and Erasure of Cy Twombly The most substantive biography of the artist to date...propulsive, positive and persuasive.-Holland Cotter, New York ...
