What does history really consists of? Centuries of people quietly going about their daily business

In At Home" Bill Bryson applies the same irrepressible curiosity irresistible wit stylish prose & masterful storytelling that made "A Short History of Nearly Everything" one of the most lauded books of the last decade & delivers one of the most entertaining & 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 & wars of history than to considering what history really consists of: centuries of people quietly going about their daily business
- eating sleeping & merely endeavouring to get more comfortable. & 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. Along the way he did a prodigious amount of research on the history of anything & everything from architecture to electricity from food preservation to epidemics from the spice trade to the Eiffel Tower from crinolines to toilets; & on the brilliant creative & often eccentric minds behind them. & he discovered that although there may seem to be nothing as unremarkable as our domestic lives there is a huge amount of history interest & excitement
- & even a little danger
- lurking in the corners of every home. This is an abridged version & read by the author."
