Shrinking the Earth: The Rise and Decline of Natural AbundanceThe discovery of the Americas around 1500 AD was an extraordinary watershed in human experience. It gave rise to the modern period of human ecology, a phenomenon global in scope that set in motion profound changes in almost every society on earth. This new period, which saw the depletion of the lands of the New World, proved tragic for some, triumphant for others, and powerfully affecting for all.

The discovery of the Americas around 1500 AD was an extraordinary watershed in human experience. It gave rise to the modern period of human ecology, a phenomenon global in scope that set in motion profound changes in almost every society on earth. This new period, which saw the depletion of the lands of the New World, proved tragic for some, triumphant for others, and powerfully affecting for all. In this work, acclaimed environmental historian Donald Worster takes a global view in his examination of the ways in which complex issues of worldwide abundance and scarcity have shaped American society and behavior over three centuries. Looking at the limits nature imposes on human ambitions, he questions whether America today is in the midst of a shift from a culture of abundance to a culture of limits--and whether American consumption has become reliant on the global South. Worster engages with key political, economic, and environmental thinkers while presenting his own interpretation of the role of capitalism and government in issues of wealth, abundance, and scarcity. Acknowledging the earth's agency throughout human history, Shrinking the Earth offers a compelling explanation of how we have arrived where we are and a hopeful way forward on a planet that is no longer as large as it once was.Binding Type: Paperback

Perfect organizer
Color: Cream, Size: 2-Layer, Color: Cream, Size: 2-Layer
This organizer is cute and compact but has a place for every type of jewelry which is what I was looking for. Its not bulky and i love how the two inner sections pull away to reveal a pretty large storage section for larger or micellaneous items. Would recommend.

Large and Conveniently Versatile
Color: Black, Size: Extra Large
This isn't quite what I was expecting but it is amazing. It is larger, sturdier, and heavier than what I expected. I emptied 4 other large decorative boxes of jewelry and relocated them into this. I cannot believe what it holds. The variety of drawer designes are perfect. There are ideal spaces for my chunky necklaces and bracelets. The side hooks are perfect for a multitude of light necklaces and chains. Love the top tray for a gazillion stud earrings. For the first time I have one location for my jewelry where I can actually see what is there without digging. It is a little too big for my dresser but the convenience is worth it. I got the black because it was the least expensive. It is a classy look. The color and design would suit a guy with lots of watches and bling or a gal with a variety of styles of jewely from chunky to light filigree. It is heavy even before loading it with jewelry. The drawers can easily be reconfigured with convenient criss cross dividers. All are nicely, lightly lined. It arrived well packaged with corner protectors. There was a bit of a smell but it was gone after airing it overnight in the bathroom.

Classic and roomy jewelry box in black
Color: Black, Size: Extra Large
This jewelry box exceeded my expectations. It is sturdy, yet classic, and well organized; it sits nicely on top of a dresser. The compartments provide a lot of room for small to larger pieces, with plenty of hooks for necklaces and a variety of layouts in the drawers. The pulls are small enough so as not to overwhelm, yet clearly well thought out in design and use. I really recommend this jewelry box!
