Summary

Comb Grooming Tool explores the surprisingly rich history of the comb, revealing its evolution from ancient times to the present day. More than just a hair grooming implement, the comb provides insights into cultural values, technological innovation, and our enduring fascination with self-presentation. For example, early combs made from bone and shell demonstrate resourcefulness, while the shift to mass-produced plastic combs reflects industrial advancements and changing social norms.

 
The book examines the comb's journey across different eras, beginning with ancient civilizations and progressing through the medieval period, the Renaissance, and the Industrial Revolution. It analyzes how the design, materials, and cultural significance of combs have transformed over time, mirroring shifts in societal values and technological capabilities.

 
The book adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from archaeology, anthropology, material science, and design studies to provide a holistic understanding of this everyday object.

    From master comedian Mark Schiff, a long-time touring partner of Jerry Seinfeld, comes a hilarious account of decades of foolery with comedy and acting legends and how he honed his mensch skills in all of life's arenas. 
 
 
 
Pursuing a career in comedy has always taken a lot of chutzpah. Today Mark Schiff looks back at his fifty-year career as a stand-up comic, actor, and writer and knows he's laughed with the best of them. His comedy and character have been widely praised by everyone from Jerry Seinfeld to Bill Maher, Paul Reiser, and Colin Quinn—as Seinfeld writes in his foreword, Mark is "the greatest comedy pal a guy could ever wish for"—but it hasn't always been easy. 
 
 
 
In this brilliantly honest collection of essays inducing both heart tugs and deep belly laughs, Mark recounts growing up Jewish in the outer boroughs of New York City and shares how he survived a harrowing childhood and managed health crises, aging, marriage, parenting, and career highs and lows. With wit and wisdom, Mark reminds us that no matter the troubles at-hand, the show must always go on. The result is an unforgettable and highly relatable account from one of the best humor writers of our time that will leave listeners of all faiths energized and feeling like they've schmoozed with the best of them.
