Brief stories of ordinary things. Comic version

They are part of our daily life, serve us faithfully, but we know almost nothing about them. Invisible fighters of the household front finally come out of the shadow. The journalist and illustrator Andy Warner came up with and drew a comic book in which they - familiar things - play the main role.
Who used the air snake as a weapon? What is the story of shampoo, sugar -substituter and rollers? How did the radical feminist and anti -capitalist come up with a "monopoly"? How did the clip play an important role in the resistance of Nazism? Welcome to the first row: you will see millennia of the great history of mankind in terms of toothpick, paper and microwaves. You do not even know what curious, tragic and simply incredible facts are sometimes worth the origin of ordinary things.
Reviews:
This book contains useful knowledge, witty, and besides this, inside is one of the best designs in gray tones that I have ever seen in comics. "
Larry Gonik, author "World History in Comics"
"Warner is a skilled cartoonist, he easily combines a lot of information, humor and emotions in one figure."
