Each button tells a story.

And that's the difference between fulfillment and a listless existence. Lack clarity and direction? Finish this book with epiphanies and a clear plan.

Disrobed vividly considers the role that clothing plays in everything from natural disasters to climate change to terrorism to geopolitics to agribusiness.
