UK: Dewi Lewis Publishing, 2011. Book. Illus. by Phillip Toledano. Fine. Hardcover. Signed by Author(s). 1st Edition.

A turning point in history where we are beginning to define not only our own concept of beauty, but of physicality itself. Beauty has always been a currency, and now that we finally have the technological means to mint our own, what choices do we make? Is beauty informed by contemporary culture? By history?
