Great book! Worth buying and reading more than once. There's a fair bit of non-human history (e.g., a good chunk on geology and the politics of the science societies).

His other book "At Home" is more human-y with a focus on residential life over the centuries.

Thanks for the info my man! I just ordered "At home" from my local library branch. I'm looking forward to it!

Glad to help! Yeah, it's a fun read and gives you lots of material to look smart at the next party you attend.
