The Secret Family - 24 hours inside the mysterious world of our minds and bodies |
A deeply absorbing book that follows individual family members as they go about their lives. Every yawn, sight of a lover or lungful of air in a shopping mall is examined in (literally) microscopic detail. Include aspects of psychology, bacteria, chemical reactions and cosmology and the world suddenly becomes a far more interesting place. This is much more engrossing than I thought it would be and an excellent introduction to the world of science. (Clive Yelf - bwl 37 December 2006) |
