Naked People (Nackende Menschen) by Heinrich Pudor, under the pseudonym of Heinrich Scham was probably the first book on nudism to be published.
Written in Germany during the 1890s, it predates even Richard Ungewitter's Die Nacktheit. The English translation was published in 1894, and has seemingly been lost. Now, resurrected by Reason Books, Naked People's renewed availability will place it as an immediate collector's item, appropriate for any serious library. Naked People itself is aphoristic and poetic, but its pleading for a naked and open lifestyle is both continual and undeniable. This new edition includes informative introduction by Dr. Cec Cinder, an authority on Pudor and the author of Nudist Idea. 64 pages, 5 1/2" x 8" (Supply Limited).

The History of Nudism in Canada
Dr. James Woycke spent more than a decade researching the history of Canadian nudism from Newfoundland to Vancouver island, and in the USA. Dr. Woycke, a history professor at the University of Western Ontario, reviewed nearly a century of magazines, records, and correspondence of nudist clubs and organizations. In addition to those thousands of documents, he interviewed dozens of naturists from Canadian and Canadian-American clubs. The result is a fascinating look into the often controversial development of nudism as it challenged Canadian legal and social norms. Several b&w photos illustrate early Canadian nudist parks, their members and leaders. 268 pages.
