A deep dive into the history and science of dirt. Millions of
people on Earth start their day the same way: we get out of bed, go
to the loo and wash ourselves. But this hasn't always been the
standard routine. Ancient Greeks and Romans were happy to splash
about in public baths, but by the time the plague struck
14th-century Europe, many people believed that water spread
diseases. It was not until the 18th century that Louis Pasteur
proved that dangerous germs actually lurk in dirt. Even when
hygienic habits began to be taught in schools, lessons were limited
to washing faces and hands, because those were the parts that
everyone could see. Dive deep into the history and science of dirt,
discovering how people around the world (and out in space!) keep
themselves and their surroundings free from filth, how our ideas of
what's clean and what's not have changed and developed over the
centuries, and why a little dirt can sometimes be a good thing...

Adventures in Nature offers an abundance of ways for families to

disconnected from the world around us, and stories are an age-old
way of re-establishing that link, nurturing a love for the
environment and embedding awareness and respect for the planet
within our culture. This book allows you to discover your very own
adventures in nature through story.
