| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ancient Greece was known for its public baths that modern scholars believe had homosexual activity. Though contemporary bathhouses have faced controversy and even claims of illegality, gay saunas remain a symbol of gay liberation throughout the world today. This book looks at the history of bathhouses, the arguments both for and against them and the patrons who openly used them. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
