註釋This exploration of an unexpected aspect of New Zealand social history examines the human body at leisure in the years 1900-1960. This book studies bodybuilding, especially the famous strongman Eugen Sandow; growing ideas about fitness, health, and exercise; the rise of beauty contests; the culture of the beach and the pool; nudism; and children's play and the appearance of playgrounds. The central aim is to explore how bodies--men's, women's and children's--were shaped and displayed through various leisure pursuits in 20th-century New Zealand.
