A Million Years in a Day

A Curious History of Everyday Life from the Stone Age to the Phone Age

Greg Jenner

A Million Years in a Day takes you on a journey through human history, exploring the fascinating origins of our daily rituals, from cleaning our teeth to bedtime rituals. Through Roman rubbish bins, Egyptian tombs, and Victorian sewers, Greg Jenner provides a delightful and entertaining study of the development of human routine. This book is a treasure trove of historical delights that will leave you pondering the story of your life, a million years in the making. From the Wall Street Journal: "It would be a staggeringly learned person who could not glean anything new from this work." As Dr. Peter Frankopan, author of THE SILK ROADS: A NEW HISTORY OF THE WORLD says, "One of my all-time favorite books about history: erudite, witty and packed with things you've never thought about."

I'm reading my oldest her first adult history book and chose @greg_jenner's Million Years in a Day. It's really good. Proper popular history built on a foundation of meticulous research.      fuente
