Synopsis:
Is there anything more mysterious and frustrating than the disappearance of a sock? Investigating this common phenomenon from a quasi-scientific perspective, Dr. Perditus Pedale postulates a number of explanations, with many theoretical, historical, and contemporary asides. Though written in jest, the book addresses a conundrum that genuinely puzzles many. Included are interviews with passersby, comments from other authorities, and delightful illustrations all created by Dr. Pedale, the domestic naturalist.
About the Author: Dr. Perditus Pedale, author of The Meaning of Lost and Mismatched Socks, was born in 1950, in Sognefjorden, Norway, to American parents, both anthropologists. He has been for years a self-described “Domestic Naturalist.” A pathfinding explorer and observer of what he terms the Familiarosphere, the realm of “Household Taxonomy,” he has single-mindedly devoted most of his scientific career to the examination of the hidden interactions between people and the features of their immediate environment.
