 Bryson B., //At Home: A Short History of Private Life//, Doubleday (London), UK, 1st edition 2010, <nowiki>hardcover/softcover/e-book</nowiki>, 536 p., ISBN 978-0-385-60827-5 - In the words of the author, "homes are not a refuge from history, they're where history ends up". The author goes through his house room by room and discusses the reasons why they are like they are. For example, why do we have salt and pepper on the kitchen table ? Why not salt and cumin ? He then delves into the historical reasons for this. It focuses mostly on Britain with a bit of America thrown in too.
