James Shelton’s Reviews > At Home: A Short History of Private Life > Status Update

Very informative. I have often thought that many houses in the Western World are similar. For example, we all have a can opener in a drawer in the kitchen - and not the one with the knives and forks.
Also each room has a purpose. The kitchen for our stomachs, the bed room for our sleep, etc. This books tells the history that led to each room
It is not a research paper but a great compendium that teaches you.
