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.
