Daily Life: Then & Now

Learn how people lived long ago and how we live today!

Further to The Human Body Inside & Out and We are Family & We are Different, Cristina Junyent  & Cristina Losantos present another a new title to explain how we live now and then.

Every morning, we go through a series of routines such as washing up, getting dressed, having breakfast, playing before going to school or checking social media on the way to our work.

Maybe it seems that it has always been like that, but it is not.

Don’t take anything for granted. Imagine life without electric lights or running water. No refrigerators, washing machines, radio, television, or movies? No computers, cell phones or credit cards?

In this new book, Cristina Junyent explains the evolution of our daily lives, according to the most important social and technological revolutions that have radically transformed our societies and the world we live in.
