Tools Robert Jefery Firth

NON-FICTION, HISTORY- In TOOLS we discuss the invention and use of the millions of implements man has invented, constructed, used and uses in order to deal with and modify his environment. Early Man was not well suited to living in trees, caves or in burrows, we were and are pathetically weak and defenseless compared to nature's predators. We couldn't run fast enough to catch even a rabbit, we couldn't swim fast enough to catch a fish or climb well enough to catch a monkey or a squirrel. We couldn't fly so catching a bird was a bridge too far. Clever however we are and with tools we came, we saw and we conquered!
