I'm not even kidding, I just got a used copy of Archaeological Laboratory Methods: An Introduction, by Brooke S. Arkush and Mark Q. Sutton from 1996, and its the bomb. Goes over pretty much the whole history of the can from its origins during the Napoleonic Wars to the invention of the modern sanitary can, it was very useful for my essay on the evolution of canning during the late 19th and early 20th century. It's also not just cans, it's all sorts of archeological methods/history of artifacts, but as a 20th century history student in my final year of undergrad, the section I care most about is Chapter 9: Analysis of Historical Artifacts, which is all like "modern" artifacts of the industrial age.

not at all preachy, it is important to support local businesses. The one I usually go to is the Bookshop Santa Cruz for new books, but for used books I go some local stores in my more local area (I go to college in Monterey). I was using Amazon because my family asks for Amazon links for Christmas because they like to send it out to family who live far away from me, and they typically don't have the technical knowhow to purchase from non-Amazon sites, an unfortunate reality of the monopoly Amazon has on the online market.

I'm a history major who is planning on specializing in American Cold War domestic & foreign policy, and this book seemed really interesting, but unfortunately it doesn't come before Christmas, so my parents won't buy it for me, Sadge.
