Who did what when- and how do you measure up? In this fascinating book, Desmond Morris chronicles the distinctions of people - both famous and infamous- from age 0 to 118, and shows how their behavior reflects or defies statistical averages and social expectations. Along the way, Morris explains both the physical and psychological variations and trends in the aging process itself. The curiosity of armchair anthropologists will be piqued by this examination of the development of men and women in different societies, and trivia buffs will delight in the detail of Dr. Morris's informative amusing facts. Throughout history people have succeeded through wit, wile, and simple miracle. Now you can learn how the extraordinary challenged the ordinary and thereby broke all of the rules.
