A fascinating book set around a simple premice, going around a very ordinary house what is the history of each room. Why do we paint our walls, what is the history of indoor plumbing and sanitation, kitchens and cooking, childcare and living rooms. Bryson explores how the current structure of our houses is shaped by fundamental social and technological changes, telephones, television, costume and bed bugs. A great story that really makes you think.
