Curious Customs

Curious Customs reveals the sense behind the nonsense of these and a host of other popular American traditions we all take for granted. Author Tad Tuleja uncovers the origins of nearly three hundred familiar customs running the gamut of social behavior: from gestures and dress codes, to mating and marriage, to rites of passage and holiday celebrations. Beyond telling us how these traditions began, Tuleja’s research brings to light intriguing insights into what makes us still practice them today.
