"An enthralling and profoundly humane book that every civilized person should read."--The Wall Street Journal The blockbuster New York Times bestseller and the companion volume to the wildly popular radio series
When did people first start to wear jewelry or play music? When were cows domesticated, and why do we feed their milk to our children? Where were the first cities, and what made them succeed? Who developed math--or invented money?
The history of humanity is one of invention and innovation, as we have continually created new things to use, to admire, or leave our mark on the world. In this groundbreaking book, Neil MacGregor turns to objects that previous civilizations have left behind to paint a portrait of mankind's evolution, focusing on unexpected turning points. Beginning with a chopping tool from the Olduvai Gorge in Africa and ending with a recent innovation that is transforming the way we power our world, he urges us to see history as a kaleidoscope--shifting, interconnected, constantly surprising. A landmark bestseller, A History of the World in 100 Objects is one f the most unusual and engrossing history books to be published in years. "None could have imagined quite how the radio series would permeate the national consciousness. Well over 12.5 million podcasts have been downloaded since the first programme and more than 550 museums around Britain have launched similar series featuring local history. . . . MacGregor's voice comes through as distinctively as it did on radio and his arguments about the interconnectedness of disparate societies through the ages are all the stronger for the detail afforded by extra space. A book to savour and start over."--The Economist

My perfect summer blanket
Color: Grey, Size: King (108" x 90")
I had 0 expectations for this blanket and I was pleasantly surprised.
This blanket is very lightweight, much like the novelty throw blankets you find in the kids section. It's very soft, compared to chinchilla fur. Incredibly soft and it didn't make me hot. Nor did it keep me cool. For me, it's the perfect blanket for summer weather. So far, the quality seems really nice and it fits my needs as a king size.

Soft, lightweight, warm and long blanket
Color: 04 - Cream, Size: Throw XL (50" X 70")
Very nice blanket. It's soft and long enough to cover you when laying on the sofa and warm. It also washes and dries well on warm water normal dry. I highly recommend this blanket

Bought in multiple colors! Fantastic material
Size: X-Large, Color: Light Green, Size: X-Large, Color: Light Green
I ordered this button-up for an upcoming beach vacation, and I’m honestly so impressed with the quality and feel of it. Right out of the package, the material felt soft, breathable, and exactly what you want when you know you’ll be spending long hours in the sun and heat. It’s incredibly lightweight without feeling cheap or flimsy, which was one of my biggest concerns when ordering.
What I really love is how well it helps keep you cool. The fabric allows for great airflow, so you don’t feel like you’re overheating or sweating through it like you might with heavier shirts. Even just trying it on, I could tell it’s going to be perfect for hot, humid weather. The fit is also spot-on—not too tight, not too baggy—giving it a clean, relaxed look that works great for both casual outings and slightly nicer dinners by the beach.
Overall, this shirt checks all the boxes: comfortable, breathable, stylish, and ideal for vacation wear. Already grabbing a few more colors

Slim but comfortable sizing looks upscale, wrinkle free from the dryer
Size: Medium, Color: Denim Blue
This is a very nice upscale looking shirt. It has great styling that is not over-sized. My husband normally wears a medium or large depending on the cut/style. He got a medium in this size and it is a perfect, comfortable fit. It arrived with some creases in the material from being folded in the packaging but it came out beautifully from the dryer. I'm happy he has a casual but nice shirt to wear when he takes me out to dinner!

Nice and comfy, light duty and feel great.
Size: X-Large, Color: Light Green
What they may lack in "durability" i.e. very light and thin = not going to last all that long, they make up for in fit [yes even for wide shoulders], comfort and style. If you want them to last, suggest a gentle cycle and just take ot easy on them. They are light, thin, and airy. Nice summer shirt.
