More than a third of the houses in the world are made of clay. Clay
vessels were instrumental in the invention of cooking, wine and
beer making, and international trade. Our toilets are made of clay.
The first spark plugs were thrown on the potter's wheel. Clay has
played a vital role in the health and beauty fields. Indeed, this
humble material was key to many advances in civilization, including
the development of agriculture and the invention of baking,
architecture, religion, and even the space program.
In Clay, Suzanne Staubach takes a lively look at the startling
history of the mud beneath our feet. Told with verve and erudition,
this story will ensure you won't see the world around you in quite
the same way after reading the book.
