At home: a short history of private life - Bryson, Bill

Summary: Explores the ways in which homes reflect history, from a bathroom's revelations about medicine and hygiene to a kitchen's exposure of the stories of trade and nutrition.




Staff Review:
Endlessly fascinating, this book is so much more than why and how we live the way we do, it's a vast social history. A "wow" on every page. The extensive bibliography is interesting in itself!
