Synopsis
More than a third of the houses in the world are made of clay. Clay vessels were instrumental in the invention of cooking, wine and beer making, and international trade. Our toilets are made of clay. The first spark plugs were thrown on the potter's wheel. Clay has played a vital role in the health and beauty fields. Indeed, this humble material was key to many advances in civilization, including the development of agriculture and the invention of baking, architecture, religion, and even the space program. In Clay, Suzanne Staubach takes a lively look at the startling history of the mud beneath our feet. Told with verve and erudition, this story will ensure you won't see the world around you in quite the same way after reading the book.

    I had a first-rate experience with this seller. They promptly (super duper quickly!) shipped the item and it was packaged securely and safely. The item is as described. It has an exceptional appearance and condition, which is impressive as it is some years old. It's truly a unique and fascinating "fandom collection". It is a high quality item. The pricing is fair and reasonable. I very much suggest you check out their wares and I highly recommend this stellar seller A+++
