Description:
How did time begin? What conditions led to humans evolving on Earth? Will we survive the Anthropocene? And is it really true that we're all made from stars?
The Shortest History of the World follows the continuum of historical change in the cosmos - from the Big Bang, through the evolution of life, to human history. Combining knowledge from chemistry, biology and physics with insights from the social sciences and humanities, The Shortest History of the World takes a bird's eye view of 13.8 billion years.
In this compelling and revealing book, David Baker traces the rise of complexity in the cosmos, from the first atoms to the first life and then to humans and the things we have made. He shows us how simple clumps of hydrogen gas transformed into complex human societies. This approach - Big History - allows us to see beyond the chaos of human affairs to the overall trajectory. Finally, Baker looks at the dramatic and sudden changes we're making to our planet and its biosphere and how history hints at what might come next.
'We have been the dominant species on this planet for the briefest flicker of our history, and until we understand that, we can't reckon meaningfully with the dramatic and sudden changes we're making to our planet and its biosphere.' -John Green

Great toy
Color: Blue+Orange
I have a little Yorkie that is constantly needing attention. This toy gives me about 15 minutes of peace. Every time he plays with it he loves it. He was scared of it at first, but then it started challenging him.

Fun for 1minute. 😞
Color: Blue+Orange
This is a fun toy that my puppy enjoyed for about 10 minutes. It pops open non stop. Also, I didn’t see anywhere in the description that “Strong chewers should not use”. It was destroyed waaaay too quickly. Charger port should be on outside w a remote for on off. It should be one solid piece so it can’t open. I would only recommend this toy for a dog no bigger than a chihuahua. I would attempt to return if it wasn’t already ruined. 😳😒

Fairly indestructible.
Color: Blue+Orange
Puppy loves them but the charge doesn’t last very long. They had not been chewed to bits in a week so they are not easily destroyed by a puppy. Cute.

A fun toy
Color: Orange
Our 6 week old pup is having a blast with this toy. It resembles a dying bird, so don't get it if that bothers you. It tweets and spins and flops with 3 different settings. Rechargeable is a bonus. The rope may not last long, but it is replaceable with paracord. Well worth the $10.

Im glad i didnt buy this at full price. Fully charged and I kept having to charge it everyday, sometimes 2xs a day. The rope and loop is sturdy enough to last through his incessant chewing and now he just tosses it around n bops it with his nose. 3 functions were cool. I just wish this stayed charged for longer periods. I bought this as his crate toy vs eating his bed lol it was fun while it lasted
