The Art of the Shoeby Marie-Josèphe Bossan
Parkstone International 2012; US$ 9.95Abandoning a French look on the subject, Mrs. Bossan, the author, develops her study with a dichotomous vision: that of time that touches the history of mankind and that of geography and sociology, which lead to an almost ethnographic analysis.
