Summary

Screw Cap Twists explores the fascinating history of the screw cap, transforming this seemingly simple object into a lens for examining industrial innovation and consumer culture. From its humble beginnings in the late 19th century, driven by the need for reliable sealing methods, the screw cap's evolution mirrors broader trends in engineering and materials science. For example, early bottling methods relied on unreliable corks, making the screw cap a revolutionary step forward in preserving goods. 

 
The book examines how advancements in design and materials improved the caps' ability to create secure seals, influencing its adoption across industries from beverages to pharmaceuticals. The book argues that the screw cap symbolizes the ongoing quest for efficiency and convenience in packaging. 

 
Chapters progress chronologically, starting with early closure methods and culminating in the screw cap's continuing relevance. Readers will discover how marketing strategies and economic factors played crucial roles in its widespread adoption, highlighting its cost-effectiveness and convenience. This comprehensive look contextualizes the screw cap within broader historical, social, and economic trends, making it valuable for anyone interested in the history of technology and business innovation.

    After serving as a US Marine during World War II and attending college on the GI Bill, Sam Keith decided to seek adventure in Alaska as a laborer on the Adak Navy base. There he befriended Dick Proenneke, whose shared love of the outdoors, hard work, and self-reliance quickly bonded an alliance between the two. Together they explored the wilds of South Central Alaska, while working on the Navy base, hunting and fishing with friends and breathing in the great outdoors. Keith was ready to leave after three years of finding almost everything he sought—not realizing then how his fate was intrinsically tied to his friend's and how it would lead to writing the bestselling book One Man's Wilderness. 
 
 
 
Sam Keith passed away in 2003. But in 2013, his son-in-law and children's book author/illustrator Brian Lies discovered in an archive box in their garage a book manuscript, originally written in 1974 after the publication of One Man's Wilderness. First Wilderness is the story of Keith's own experiences, at times harrowing, funny, and fascinating. Along with the original manuscript are excerpts from his journals, letters, and notebooks, woven in to create a compelling and poignant memoir of search and discovery. Foreword by Nick Jans, one of Alaska's foremost authors and photographers, and afterword by Keith's daughter Laurel Lies.
