Description

Hearth and Home is a history of the ways in which human beings in the Western world have satisfied their fundamental needs for food, shelter, and clothing. It is the story of insecure and fearful societies, haunted by the specter of famine and disease, in battle with adverse weather and warring neighbors, and creating against the hazards of life a material culture of substance and strength.
