Something New Under the Sun: An Environmental History of the Twentieth-Century WorldThe history of the twentieth century is most often told through its world wars, the rise and fall of communism, or its economic upheavals. In his startling new book, J. R. McNeill gives us our first general account of what may prove to be the most significant dimension of the twentieth century: its environmental history. To a degree unprecedented in human history, we have refashioned the earth's air, water, and soil, and the biosphere of which we are

The history of the twentieth century is most often told through its world wars, the rise and fall of communism, or its economic upheavals. In his startling new book, J. R. McNeill gives us our first general account of what may prove to be the most significant dimension of the twentieth century: its environmental history. To a degree unprecedented in human history, we have refashioned the earth's air, water, and soil, and the biosphere of which we are a part. Based on exhaustive research, McNeill's story--a compelling blend of anecdotes, data, and shrewd analysis--never preaches: it is our definitive account. This is a volume in The Global Century Series (general editor, Paul Kennedy).

💕 LOVE
I almost didn't purchase because I was nervous about the shedding. To my surprise the quality is fantastic. Minimal shedding and soooo soft! The size is perfect for a TON of stuffed animals along with blankets. Good bang for your buck!! Makes organization a breeze!! It is very durable when needing to move!

Too expensive to rip within hours
Color: Leopard Print Brown, Size: Large(38"x38"x40")
The handle ripped off while carrying, which left a giant hole on the top. The beanbag was in no way overstuffed or heavy. Not worth the money.

Overall good
Color: Leopard Print Pink, Size: Large(38"x38"x40")
It is super cute, I was nervous about the pattern and color because it’s not something I usually go for. But because the fabric is also long faux hairs it’s more of a ridged obre. The handle isn’t as strong as they recommend filling it to. So I recommend bear hugging it to move it around. You can put a lot in it if you want a harder chair but I filled it 3/4 full. The size is a little smaller so it’s more a medium.
