'In this path-breaking book, Simon Carter develops a subtle and complex analysis of historical roles that sunlight has played in the mediation of such notions as health, pleasure, the body, race and class. Rise and Shine is a unique contribution to the contemporary rethinking of the 'human'. ' Mike Michael, Goldsmith College, London 'As Simon Carter shows in his fascinating social and scientific history, 'the idea of intentionally exposing one's body to the ray's of the sun' is a recent phenomenon.' PDS 'An understanding of the major themes addressed in this book could contribute to the ways in which psychologists promote a healthy relationship with the sun among the populations that they study.' Anne Moyer & Sarah K. Knapp 'An attractive and well-written book, offering well-organized if brief summaries of interesting aspects of this history.' Medical History, Jul 2008 (52.3)
