In today’s Toronto Star, Ryan Bigge reviews A Brief History of Nakedness by Philip Carr-Gomm and concludes that “being naked in public has a number of spiritual, cultural and political implications.” This is certainly in line with the naturist view that being nude is much more than just taking your clothes off.

Nobody at Bare Oaks had any idea that a Globe & Mail reporter had been there. He simply checked into one of the rooms like everyone else and didn’t tell anybody why he was there.
