Summary

Can Opener Turns explores the surprisingly complex history of the can opener, a device deeply interwoven with our food systems. Beyond a simple tool for puncturing metal, its evolution reflects major shifts in industrialization, food preservation, and consumer culture. Initially, opening canned goods was a cumbersome task involving hammers and chisels, highlighting how technological limitations shaped early food consumption. The book reveals how the can opener's journey wasn't a straight line of improvements but a series of innovations driven by specific needs and societal demands. The book examines the slow initial adoption and the subsequent technological leaps that led to modern can opener designs. Chapters chronologically explore different can opener types, from early claw-style models to rotary and electric versions. By focusing on the can opener, the book provides a unique lens to understand the intricate relationship between invention, adoption, and their profound impact on how we eat and live.

The Gauls - The People of...

Kelly Mass

This is a book about a people that has often been overlooked. Wallowing in the shadow of the seemingly almighty Romans, and dispersed throughout the ages into other peoples, the Gauls appear as if they had nothing going for them. Quite the opposite is true. The Gauls had a distinct culture, with habits, warfare, and so much more to offer to the intrigued historian and everyday researcher. 
Throughout the Iron Age and the Roman period, the Gauls were a collection of Celtic tribes from Continental Europe (circa from the fifth century BC to the fifth century advertisement). Gaul was the name of the area where they used to live. Their Gaulish language is the significant branch of the Celtic languages of the continent. 
The Gauls are worth studying. I implore you to do so.
