Présentation de l'éditeur :
Did you know that:
*Chewing gum is composed of pigs' fat, rubber, Vaseline and Elmer's glue?
*That the gold in a wedding ring is 4.5 billion years old?
*That orange juice contains embalming fluid, varnish solvent, vinegar and nail-polish remover?
All this and much more can be found in THE SECRET FAMILY, the riveting story of a typical family on a typical day - but told from a completely new point of view, showing what is happening inside each of the family members as they sleep, eat, talk, get dressed, walk, go shopping, watch tv.
Most of us can't imagine the mental and physical activity that lies behind every movement we make. THE SECRET FAMILY, with its unique photographs and lucid text, shows the the world we live in but never see - the invisible, inaudible happenings that occur to us as we go through our daily lives. Why is our skin covered in bacteria even after a shower? What is going in inside the body of a teenage girl on a diet? What internal changes occur when a husband and wife converse - or argue? From the environment's effect on our DNA to the complicated physiology of a kiss, this mesmerizing book - with its state-of-the-art photography - turns mundane articles into objects of wonder.
