Tools That Taught Us ebook

A needle, a hinge, a stove, or a hand tool can reveal more about the past than a celebrated invention. This history follows everyday technologies through the small changes that altered work, homes, care, and communication. It asks who made these objects, who could afford them, and how they reshaped habits before anyone called them revolutionary. The result is a human-scale account of technology as something learned through use, repair, imitation, and need.
