ISBN10: 0684801647, ISBN13: 9780684801643, [publisher: Touchstone] Softcover nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - We've been taught that history is the story of great events and important people -- but is it In Milton's Teeth and Ovid's Umbrella, Michael Olmert shows how the most ordinary artifacts of everyday life can also be important sources of information. For the modern historian it's the little things that count, and these intriguing essays force us to take another look at the odds and ends of life we so often take for granted, including: -- Toothbrushes -- how they eased civilization into the Industrial Revolution -- Graffiti -- why they became a feature of our public 'decoration' -- Playing cards -- how the technology of printing cards led to Gutenberg's Bible -- Keys -- why these little metal objects have been a symbol of power and authority throughout the ages -- Horse racing -- how the rage for racing played an important role in the development of fashion and journalism Whimsical, witty, and highly informative, Milton's Teeth and Ovid's Umbrella leads us through the back door and into the kitchen of history -- where people really lived.
