Review of 'A million years in a day' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Historical tidbits, humorously collected and compellingly presented. How do the ordinary things done in a single day compare to those of 100, 1000, or 10,000 years ago? Topics include Time, Toilets, Food, Pets, Communication, Clothes, Beds, Alcohol and Dental Hygiene. Recommended!

Not intended to be a complete history of everything and anything, this still has a lot of information while also being quite a bit of fun. I listened to the audiobook version, read by the author, and the wit is perfectly presented. Additionally, Jenner has a link on his website to the extensive bibliography, in case you want to delve deeper into any particular subject. www.gregjenner.com/a-million-years-in-a-day-bibliography/ 4 stars, rounded up for the audiobook version.

I would recommend this book to anybody, and especially my dentist. Wonder if I can find a copy before I see him next Monday?
