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.

These hold up very well
Color: White, Size: Standard (Pack of 2)
I have NO luck with pillows. I’ve been in stores & tried them. They seemed ok there. At home, nope. I’ve been getting headaches & neck aches from lousy pillows. I’ll change one, a few nights relief. It doesn’t help that I’m prone to headaches. After reading about different pillows, I settled on these. The reviews were better than so many different ones I was looking at. Including high priced & brand names. I bought the standard size. When I saw, “Customers Usually Keep This”, I kept my fingers crossed. When I received them, I took one out of the package & put my head on it & thought, oh no! This is too hard! I tried it again. Ok….. I slept on it & haven’t had any pains since. It’s soft but firm enough to keep my head from sinking & messing up my neck. I don’t move. No more flipping my pillow over. My head doesn’t go below my neck anymore! This has been 2 months now, but it hasn’t changed at all. I wake up happy, not complaining. No more pains or headaches. This saved me from losing days with a heating pad or an ice pack. The price was excellent for 2 pillows. I can’t believe a blind buy was the answer! These are incredible. Finally, something worked for me.

Awesome Pillows!
Color: White, Size: King (Pack of 2)
These pillows are super soft! I love them. I bought them when I caught a bad cold and needed to prop myself up. Worked so great! Definitely give these pillows a try. They're very reasonably priced too.

Inexpensive and Nice Quality
Size: Standard (Pack of 2), Style: Medium, Configuration: Hometextile
I was hoping there would be more of a firmness to these pillows, however they are more soft than I was expecting them to be. Id recommend these pillows for someone who wants a fairly non firm pillow.
