Description:
Tracing developments from the classical period to the early industrial revolution and beyond, Anne Murcott provides us with an accessible and entertaining social history of food packaging.



From tin cans, glass jars and bottles, plastic trays and stretch-wrap, Murcott shows the importance of food packaging for global food systems. As a pioneering excursion into the many aspects of the history of food packaging, the book examines shifts from domestic to commercial production, the emergence of associated technologies, changes in retailing, implications for policy and practice, along with current concerns about overpackaging.


Taking a wide historical and geographical angle, Murcott draws on sources such as trade magazines, manufacturers' archives, company histories, packaging textbooks, histories of international trade and interviews with key industry 'insiders'.




Written by a leading figure in the field, this book will benefit students of social studies of food production and consumption, of cultural studies, as well as researchers and those interested in the history of food.

Excellent lumbar support and easy assembly
I bought this chair because of my lower back pain, and it has been very comfortable to use. The leather feels soft, and the lumbar support is excellent. Assembly was easy, and the tools included, especially the screwdriver design were very well thought out, which made the whole setup process much easier.

Excellent Comfort and Great Value for a Home Office
Color: Elegant Grey, Color: Elegant Grey
I am extremely happy with this office chair and feel it offers excellent value for the price. The chair was easy to assemble, and all the parts fit together perfectly. Once assembled, it feels sturdy, stable, and well-made. The high-back design provides outstanding support for my back, neck, and shoulders. The seat cushion is thick and comfortable, making it easy to sit for long periods while working, studying, or gaming. The padded headrest adds extra comfort, and the faux leather material looks stylish and gives the chair a premium appearance. One of my favorite features is the flip-up armrests. They are comfortable to use and make it easy to slide the chair under my desk when I need extra space. The height adjustment, smooth swivel, and rocking function all work well and allow me to find the perfect sitting position throughout the day. The chair arrived exactly as described and exceeded my expectations in both comfort and appearance. It looks great in my home office and has made long work sessions much more enjoyable. If you're looking for a comfortable, attractive, and affordable office chair, I highly recommend this product. I would definitely purchase it again and would gladly give it five stars.
