Description:
big history and the future of humanity


?This remains the best single attempt to theorize big history as a discipline
that can link core concepts and paradigms across all historical disciplines, from cosmology to geology, from biology to human history. With additional and updated material, the Second Edition also offers a fine introduction to the history of big history and a superb introductory survey to the big history story. Essential reading for anyone interested in a rapidly evolving new field of scholarship that links the sciences and the humanities into a modern, science-based origin story.?


David Christian, Macquarie University


?Notable for its theoretic approach, this new Second Edition is both an indispensable contribution to the emerging big history narrative and a powerful university textbook. Spier defines words carefully and recognizes the limits of current knowledge, aspects of his own clear thinking.?


Cynthia Brown, Emerita, Dominican University of California


Reflecting the latest theories in the sciences and humanities, this new edition
of Big History and the Future of Humanity presents an accessible and original overview of the entire sweep of history from the origins of the universe and life on Earth up to the present day.

Keeps my dog busy and actually holds up
This jigsaw-style dog toy has been a game changer for keeping my dog entertained. The design is super versatile—you can spread peanut butter (or yogurt, wet food, etc.) into the grooves, and it keeps them busy licking for a long time. What I like most is that it’s not just a lick mat—it’s also a durable chew toy. The material feels strong and holds up really well, even with a dog that usually destroys toys pretty quickly. Toys made from rubber or similar materials tend to last longer and are safer for chewing compared to softer options. The grooves and compartments make it a little more challenging (in a good way), so it takes my dog longer to get through the treats. I’ve even tried freezing peanut butter inside, and that keeps them occupied even longer. Lick-style toys like this are great for slowing dogs down and keeping them calm and engaged. It’s also been really helpful during times when I need a distraction—like when I’m busy, cleaning, or even during grooming. Pros: • Durable and holds up to chewing • Can use peanut butter, yogurt, or other soft treats • Keeps dogs busy for a long time • Helps with boredom and anxiety • Freezable for longer use Cons: • Can get messy depending on what you put in it

Doesn't hold their attention
I have 5 dogs, and only one of them seems to actually want to play with these toys, and even he's not that enthused. And he'll literally play with anything. I think it's the shape that's unappealing. My smallest sniffs and licks it, gives it a little nibble, hoping it will actually taste like peanut butter, but once he realizes it's just plastic he turns his nose up. They are solid, durable toys that should hold up to power chewers, but none of my power chewers care enough to bother for more than a few minutes. Size wise they're perfectly suited for the sizes intended.
