This Dictionary provides an historical account of how Taboos have operated down the ages, in different societies and realms of life: in sex, birth and death; food, drink and excretion; dress, hairstyle and gesture; gender, race and religion; art, literature, theatre and film; language, religion and science." "A book for browsing and reference, for students of societies and their ways, it throws an informed light upon our systems of prohibition."--Jacket
