Description:
Power has many dimensions, from individual attributes such as strength and speed to the collective advantages of groups. The Evolution of Power takes readers on a breathtaking journey across history and the natural world, revealing how the concept of power unifies a vast range of phenomena in the evolution of life — and how natural selection has placed humanity and the planet itself on a trajectory of ever-increasing power.
Drawing on evidence from fossils, living organisms, and contemporary society, Geerat Vermeij documents increases in power at all scales, from body size, locomotor performance, and the use of force in competition to efficiency in production and consumption within ecosystems. He shows how power — which he defines as the rate at which organisms acquire and apply energy — is tied to the emergence of cooperation, and how the modern economy, which for the first time has established a monopoly over the biosphere by a single species, is a continuation of evolutionary trends stretching back to the dawn of life. Vermeij persuasively argues that we can find solutions to the many problems arising from this extreme concentration of power by broadening our exclusively human-centred perspective.
A masterful work by one of today’s most innovative and forward-thinking naturalists, The Evolution of Power offers a new understanding of our place in the grand sweep of evolutionary history.

Versatile, Elegant, Looks Expensive
Color: Black, Color: Black
I purchased this purse in black and tan, and love them the both. The tan is a true tan (my pic makes it look whiter/lighter); the black is a rich, deep black. The gold hardware is a gilded gold, not brassy gold and looks expensive. I added purse extenders (gold balls on the tan and black hearts on the black) that I purchased separately on Amazon to personalize the look, and am even more in love. The purses themselves are high quality pebbled leather, lined with a deep zippered side pocket on the inside. The zippers zip smoothly and easily. The hardware clasps of the crossbody chain seem sturdy and can be removed or altered easily, allowing for a variety of styles and looks. The crossbody chain lays flat and doesn’t tangle snag, kink, or pinch when worn. I am pleasantly surprised with the overall quality given the incredible price. I highly recommend this purse for its elegance, versatility, and quality.

Real leather!
Color: Black
There is nothing more disappointing than grabbing a favorite (vegan leather/pleather/vinyl/man-made exterior) purse out of the closet only to find that it has started to peel and disintegrate. No more!! From now on, I'm only buying leather, and this purse is real leather! Beautiful dand large enough for cell phone, comb, lipstick, glasses, and credit cards/cash, with a design that can transition from daytime to night. This purse is a winner!

Great quality, extra long strap
Color: White
Gorgeous bag! Love the true white color and the pebbled leather looks nice and high quality. My only complaint is the long chain. The one I received is much longer than the description shows, so it hangs too low when I wear it as a crossbody (down on my thigh) and I'm tall (5'9"). Thankfully it's detachable so I'll try to purchase a different strap to make it work.
