Locks and Lavatories

by Philippe Planel

Published 12 December 2000
This illustrated volume is a mine of information for teachers. It looks at homes from the cottages to the castle, and how the single-room hut of prehistoric times has evolved into the house of today, each room with its own function. It charts the progress in the technology of everyday life, from heating, cooking, lighting, water and labour-saving devices to furnishings and buildings.
