With his signature wit, charm, and seemingly limitless knowledge, Bill Bryson takes us on a room-by-room tour through his own house, using each room as a jumping off point into the vast history of the domestic artifacts we take for granted. As he takes us through the history of our modern comforts, Bryson demonstrates that whatever happens in the world eventually ends up in our home, in the paint, the pipes, the pillows, and every item of furniture. Bryson has one of the liveliest, most inquisitive minds on the planet, and his sheer prose fluency makes "At Home" one of the most entertaining books ever written about private life.Author BiographyBILL BRYSON s books include "A Walk in the Woods," "I m a Stranger Here Myself," "In a Sunburned Country," "Bryson s Book of Troublesome Words," "A Short History of Nearly Everything "(which earned him the 2004 Aventis Prize), "The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid," and "Bryson s Dictionary for Writers and Editors."
