Overview
Tells the story of human habitations through time and around the world. Conveys the enormous variety and drama of human experience, portraying an amazing range of traditional dwellings -- from palace to igloo -- and also such diverse settings as a monastery, a prison, a whaling ship, and even a space station, making history come alive through the evocation of intimate details of everyday life. For example, travel across the vast Pacific with pre-Columbian South Amer. Indians living on rafts for weeks at a time; join a family of Medieval peasants in a cottage in Flanders at suppertime; bed down on the Orient Express as it pulls out of Istanbul; and look in on inhabitants of a Harlem apt. building in the 1930s. Packed with info. and visual excitement.
