A comprehensive, richly illustrated introduction to the fascinating natural history of the pig, from prehistory to the present

At any given time, there are around one billion pigs in the world; that's one for every seven of us. And where would we be without them? Prolific, ubiquitous, smart, adaptable, and providers of high-quality protein, pigs have been our companions since neolithic times, when they obligingly domesticated themselves, coming in from the wild to root around our waste pits. But it's not all about the bacon; today, bred in micro sizes, the resourceful pig has developed a whole new career as a popular pet. And thanks to genome mapping, we now know that the pig shares many common physiological features with humans, spurring the use of pig tissue and organs in medical research and surgery. Beautifully designed and illustrated, The Pig provides a snout-to-tail natural history of this important species, from the prehistoric hell pig to today's placid porker, covering the pig's evolution and domestication, anatomy and biology, behavior, role in human life and culture, and breeds. The book also features an engrossing and visually stunning photographic gallery of some thirty popular breeds from around the world, with essential information about each. Filled with surprising facts and insights, The Pig will delight anyone who loves these animals and wants to understand them better.

Great multi pack soap for all needs
I love this soap multipack, they all smell great and lather really well. They is a soap for every need in here, whether you need a soap to brighten dark marks or a soap with a great scent or hydrating, this pack has it. My skin feels good, not too dry but at the same time not too greasy or that feeling of residual stuff. Overall great quality soaps.

Hands Down the Best Study Bible Available Today
Format: Imitation Leather
I own several MacArthur study bibles and they never fail to impress me. He was one of the best modern scholars in the world and his wealth of knowledge shows in these study bibles. From the very beginning he offers short lectures on how the Bible came to be, why we should read it, how to study it and then we dive in and his teachings are nothing short of fascinating and inspiring. Now, these bibles are of course big and heavy, it’s not a church bible by all means. But perfect for your personal studies at home or for a Bible study group. His notes are the perfect guidance to aid you becoming richer in your understanding of the scripture and the Gospels. The pages are vibrant and the text is easy to read, including the notes, however some might need magnification. Again they are large and a bit heavy just so you know. However they contain a wealth of knowledge that few other study bibles offer. I wholeheartedly recommend this or any of the MacArthur study bibles. For yourself, for a gift, for anyone who wants to go deeper on Gods word. The price is right and well worth it.

A Treasure for Serious Bible Study
Format: Imitation Leather
I couldn’t be more pleased with the MacArthur Study Bible, 2nd Edition in soft leather. From the moment I opened it, I could feel the quality—the soft, supple leather cover is elegant yet durable, and it feels wonderful in the hands. The craftsmanship is excellent, making it a Bible I know will last for years. The content is truly where this Bible shines. John MacArthur’s study notes are incredibly thorough, rooted in sound doctrine, and provide rich historical and theological context. The introductions to each book, cross-references, and maps have deepened my understanding of Scripture in ways I didn’t expect. This isn’t just a Bible for casual reading—it’s designed for believers who want to grow in knowledge and truth. I also appreciate the clarity of the layout. The font is readable, the notes are organized well, and there’s enough margin space for light note-taking. Whether you’re a pastor, student, or someone who simply wants to dig deeper into God’s Word, this Bible is an invaluable tool.
