Props: A History of Power in 7 Lessons - Paperback

by Norm Coady (Author)

Are you nostalgic for simpler times? Do you miss your favorite history teacher, the one that gave you perspective and kept you laughing? Come back to class. Buy Props and let Norm Coady take you on a trip from Caesar to Kennedy, from Wittenberg to St. Petersburg. Learn how seashells led to the first global conflict. Discover how a piece of chalk laid the groundwork for totalitarianism. Follow an umbrella's strange journey from sunny Munich to rainy Dallas. Norm Coady takes well known historical events, turns them upside down, and shakes out new revelations. Equal parts illuminating and hilarious, Props is for, "people who take history so seriously, they read it for fun."
