Every day, from the moment our alarm clock wakes us in the morning until our head hits our pillow at night, we all take part in rituals that are millennia old.Structured around one ordinary day, A Million Years in a Day reveals the astonishing origins and development of the daily practices we take for granted. In this gloriously entertaining romp through human history, Greg Jenner explores the gradual and often unexpected evolution of our daily routines. This is not a story of politics, wars, or great events. Instead, Jenner has scoured Roman rubbish bins, Egyptian tombs, and Victorian sewers to bring us the most intriguing, surprising, and sometimes downright silly nuggets from our past.Drawn from across the world, spanning a million years of humanity, this book is a smorgasbord of historical delights. It is a history of all those things you always wondered - and many you have never considered. It is the story of your life, one million years in the making"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 395.09 Je Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 395.09 Jenner Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 395.09 Je Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 395.09 Je Checked In Add Copy to MyList
