The fabulous Book of Dirt - Millions of people across Earth start their day the same way: we get out of bed, go to the loo and wash ourselves. But this wasn’t always so - at the time the Black Death struck Europe, many people believed that water spread disease. Dive deep into the history and science of dirt: discover how people around the world (and even in space) keep themselves and their surroundings filth-free, how our ideas of what’s clean and what isn’t have changed over time, and why a little dirt can sometimes be a good thing. * Author: Socha, Piotr & Utnik-Strugala, Monika * Publisher: Thames & Hudson * Format: Hardback * Publication Date: 23/06/2022 * ISBN: 9780500652664 * B-Code: B063303 * Illustrated: Colour illustrations * Pages: 216 * Dimensions: 323x240mm
