比尔·布莱森的《趣味生活简史》（At Home）。这可不是《人类简史》（Sapiens）那种风格的人类史重述。它是本轻松的读物——一间屋子一间屋子地、饶有趣味地审视现代住宅的历史，中途还穿插了各种随心所欲的插曲杂谈……

冰块贸易的兴起在比尔·布莱森的《趣味生活简史》（At Home）[1] 第四章里有非常生动有趣的详细描写，其中还讲了个故事：第一艘运往伦敦的投机性冰块货船被海关扣留了太久，海关光琢磨怎么给它征税就耽误了工夫，结果大部分冰全化了。[1] http://www.amazon.com/At-Home-Short-History-Private/dp/07679...
The creation of the ice trade is covered in entertaining detail in chapter 4 of Bill Bryson's At Home [1], including a story of how the first speculative shipload to London was held so long by Customs trying to figure out how to tax it, that most of it melted.
