DESCRIPTION

AN UNCOMMON HISTORY OF COMMON THINGS tells the story of how hundreds of

everyday things came to be what they are. Pencils, buttons, forks, coffee, and

napkins are just some of the humble items that we take for granted but

depend on greatly. Who first thought of removing the hull from the red

coffee “cherry,” roasting it, grinding it, and then steeping it into the liquid

we consume daily? What garment frustrations or embarrassments led people

to discover they could hold their clothes together with a combination of

small, flat disks and holes in fabric? Some of these short histories describe

necessity as the impetus to invention; other inventions were the result of

fortuitous accidents. Some of the descriptions shed light on misconceptions,

while others fill in gaps in popular knowledge. Over the course of nine

chapters, organized by topic, we explore the earliest known origins and

current uses or observances of hundreds of things. We start with Food &

Drink, then move on through Seasons & Holidays, Ceremony & Customs,

Symbols & Markings, Hearth & Home, Garments & Accessories,

Medications & Potions, Toys & Games, and Tools & Innovations. Within

each chapter, look for subheads, fast facts, uncommonly known trivia and

historical items, and timelines. One characteristic all of these things have in

common: our lives would be quite different without them.
