The Library: A World HistoryA library is not just a collection of books, but also the buildings that house them. As varied and inventive as the volumes they hold, such buildings can be much more than the dusty, dark wooden shelves found in mystery stories or the catacombs of stacks in the basements of academia. From the great dome of the Library of Congress, to the white fa ade of the Sein joki Library in Finland, to the ancient ruins of the library of Pergamum in modern Turkey,
A library is not just a collection of books, but also the buildings that house them. As varied and inventive as the volumes they hold, such buildings can be much more than the dusty, dark wooden shelves found in mystery stories or the catacombs of stacks in the basements of academia. From the great dome of the Library of Congress, to the white fa ade of the Sein joki Library in Finland, to the ancient ruins of the library of Pergamum in modern Turkey, the architecture of a library is a symbol of its time as well as of its builders' wealth, culture, and learning. Architectural historian James Campbell and photographer Will Pryce traveled the globe together, visiting and documenting over eighty libraries that exemplify the many different approaches to thinking about and designing libraries. The result of their travels, The Library: A World History is one of the first books to tell the story of library architecture around the world and through time in a single volume, from ancient Mesopotamia to modern China and from the beginnings of writing to the present day. As these beautiful and striking photos reveal, each age and culture has reinvented the library, molding it to reflect their priorities and preoccupations--and in turn mirroring the history of civilization itself. Campbell's authoritative yet readable text recounts the history of these libraries, while Pryce's stunning photographs vividly capture each building's structure and atmosphere. Together, Campbell and Pryce have produced a landmark book--the definitive photographic history of the library and one that will be essential for the home libraries of book lovers and architecture devotees alike.Binding Type: Hardcover

Dogs love them and they are very safe for them to chew!
These bones are indispensable if you have a chewing and destructive puppy! (Or any dog, really) ours love them and never get tired of chewing - so far we have had them for a month and no one is tired
of them or more importantly has managed to eat any of them. They are a great buy and keep dogs really occupied when they may get bored and feel like causing trouble or chewing something!

It keeps my dog busy and happy 🐶🎾
This interactive ball for dogs has been an excellent option to keep my pet active and entertaining. Automatic movement and unpredictable bounces arouse his curiosity and keep him playing for long periods. I liked that it is made of E-TPU material, which feels resistant and light at the same time.

Great for all dogs!
My dogs go crazy over this ball! It wiggles, vibrates and makes silly noises. It drives them crazy in a good way! It’s easy to use, easy to charge and just go. We take it to the dog park frequently. My girls absolutely enjoy this ball. It’s great quality, durable, and the perfect size for any dog!

Very worth it!
My dog absolutely loves this toy! The bouncing and vibrating motion keeps him entertained for a long time and helps burn off energy. The material feels durable and holds up well even with aggressive chewing. I also like that it’s rechargeable and easy to use. Great interactive toy for keeping dogs active and busy — definitely worth the purchase!
