Description

The History of InformationA journey through the evolution of knowledge, communication, and information. The debut non fiction book by best selling author Chris Haughton. History, as it is often taught, is a list of kings and queens and treaties and events. It presents the what and when, but it rarely asks why. Why is it that we had kings and queens at all? Why then all of a sudden did we abandon them and shift to democracies? Why did the world's religions rise around the same

A journey through the evolution of knowledge, communication, and information. The debut non-fiction book by best-selling author Chris Haughton. History, as it is often taught, is a list of kings and queens and treaties and events. It presents the what and when, but it rarely asks why. Why is it that we had kings and queens at all? Why then all of a sudden did we abandon them and shift to democracies? Why did the world's religions rise around the same time? Why is society dominated by men? The answers all come down to the same thing: information. The striving to share information, and - at the same time - the striving to undermine it, explains so much of today's world and connects so many seemingly unconnected things: the rise of religions, states, science, democracy, the west, militarism, racism, fascism, consumerism, big tech, polarisation, and AI. This history of information is closely connected to the history of visual communication - and as these two are largely the same - it makes sense to tell this story visually: a history of graphics told through graphics. The History of Information , through a mix of timelines, graphics, and illustrations, clearly breaks down and explains each concept for children and adults alike. The History of Information includes: A beautiful look at the story of information; from the first languages and cave paintings, through to how we communicate and record information today. Content written and illustrated by world famous and multi-award winning author and illustrator, Chris Haughton. A global journey throughout history from the origination of language, how information has been passed on and recorded, and how this affected humanity.

Excellent boot for the price! Very solid. Cushy insoles very comfortable. Wide width plenty wide. Recommend getting half to full size smaller than your usual.

Don’t hold up/good Customer Service.
Size: 10.5, Color: Army Green
Please read full review. Where to begin. The boots are comfortable, decent waterproofing, they feel/look well constructed. Unfortunately they did not hold up well, I hikes less than 10 times. My left foot began to hurt on top near bottom of the lace, I tried every lacing method and it still hurt, leading to potential blisters. It was not a break in issue the boots were initially comfortable to wear then around hike 6 they hurt. Reached out to the company they were partially helpful offering a coupon on their website. Their shoes are significantly higher in price on their website. It could have been a lemon pair of boots. Buy with caution. Updated: 4/9/26-CS reached out to me and offered full refund or new pair of boots. I do hike often so I went with the new pair of boots. I will create a new review in the future /update this review. A+ for their CS. Initial review was 2 stars I increased to 3 stars if these boots hold up the score will go higher.

Nice Grill Cover
Size: 55 Inch, Color: black
I bought this as a replacement cover. It's durably made. It's not too thick or heavy. It fits nicely over my grill. The handles make it easy to put on and take off.

Durable, Long-Lasting, Doesn’t Fade in the Sun!!!
Size: 50 Inch, Color: black, Size: 50 Inch, Color: black
I’ve had this grill cover for almost a year now. But it last summer and it has been on my grill that is on open porch (no roof/overhang/cover protect protecting it from the elements). This particular area of the porch gets a ton of direct sunlight all day long as well. Needless to say, I am incredibly impressed by the material of this cover. It looks almost brand new even after a year of use and exposure to the elements. The fact that it didn’t even get faded in the sun a little bit blows my mind. Great product and excellent value! Highly recommend.
