Description:
A curator's journey to uncover the stories behind everyday objects and preserve history for the common good




After thirty years confined within museum walls, a restless history curator steps out for air. In this book of essays, Anne-Marie Conde grants herself freedom to ask fresh questions about the significance of objects and places within the lives of ordinary people. Cemeteries, junk shops, war memorials. Stones and scraps and scrawls. These are where this author goes for inspiration.




Whether it's a wet greasy pavement in Hobart or a message in chalk in Sydney- Conde can coax a historical narrative out of the most meagre sources. Along the way she asks why anyone would offer a potato as a gift to a prime minister? How could this humble vegetable help us think about Australia's past?




Throughout, Conde casts a patient and gently curious gaze over her subjects. Many writers are fascinated by unrecorded lives, but where there are records, Conde is sure to find them.

Great Value!
Color: Tall Set - Black White
Better than anticipated. These are sturdy and work very well. They came with a little funnel to fill, but easy enough without it. They are attractive, I keep on top my stove as I have room. Grind well.

Defective coarseness adjuster
Color: Tall Set - Black White
These salt and pepper shakers are ok. According to the description of the product, you should be able to adjust the coarseness of the salt and pepper added to them, but that was not my case. The coarseness adjuster on the set I received is set to one position and there is no way of changing it. The grinders work well, but if you are looking to adjust the coarseness of your salt and/or pepper look for another grinder set.

Works well and looks cute
Really nice set. Grind is fine and turn is easy. Highly recommend manual over battery operated ones.
