SOCIAL & CULTURAL HISTORY. In At Home, Bill Bryson applies the same irrepressible
curiosity, irresistible wit, stylish prose and masterful storytelling that made A
Short History of Nearly Everything one of the most lauded books of the last decade,
and delivers one of the most entertaining and illuminating books ever written about
the history of the way we live. Bill Bryson was struck one day by the thought that
we devote a lot more time to studying the battles and wars of history than to considering
what history really consists of: centuries of people quietly going about their daily
business - eating, sleeping and merely endeavouring to get more comfortable. And that
most of the key discoveries for humankind can be found in the very fabric of the houses
in which we live. This inspired him to start a journey around his own house, an old
rectory in Norfolk, wandering from room to room considering how the ordinary things
in life came to be
