Some Like It Hot:
The Sauna, Its Lore and Stories delights
in the breadth of information and stories about saunas. What’s all in this
book? For starters, sweat-bath traditions of other cultures and over the last
2,000 years, from ancient savusaunas to state-of-the-art saunas, how saunas were used
during wars and to further peace, and unique saunas made from such diverse
materials as cars, silos, and ice blocks.
There are tips for
athletes and health benefits, proverbs, legends, and historic accounts, plus
funny stories about the Sauna Queen, embarrassing moments, birthing in a sauna,
and cupping, a medical treatment. Sprinkled among the pages are also a few
recipes to try in the sauna. Interested in sauna reggae? Or where to take a
public sauna? That’s here, too, and lots more.
