Why Does the Head Itch?

Lice have been constant companions of humans for many centuries, and most people have been infested with them at least once. However, it is not customary to talk about them, and therefore we know very little about these insects. The book "Why Does the Head Itch?" (a new release in the "Library of the Pocket Scientist" series) will tell everyone about who lice are, how and why they come to the human head and how they live there, how people coexisted with them throughout different times — from ancient times to the present day. Why it is not shameful to have pediculosis, how to reduce the risk of infection, and what to do if you get it.
