Neues von vorgestern: Die ganze Geschichte der alltäglichen Dinge

The book ties together so many fascinating snippets from history—I'm curious what motivated the author to focus on everyday routines instead of major events.

The humorous anecdotes made me laugh, but they also made me think about how much has changed or stayed the same in daily life over centuries.

Given the vast scope of history covered, I wonder what criteria guided these choices and how the author balanced depth with brevity.
