Description:
A sweeping exploration of the relationship between the language we speak and our perception of such fundamentals of experience as time, space, color, and smells.
We tend to assume that all languages categorize ideas and objects similarly, reflecting our common human experience. But this isn't the case. When we look closely, we find that many basic concepts are not universal, and that speakers of different languages literally see and think about the world differently.
Caleb Everett takes readers around the globe, explaining what linguistic diversity tells us about human culture, overturning conventional wisdom along the way. For instance, though it may seem that everybody refers to time in spatial terms-in English, for example, we speak of time "passing us by"-speakers of the Amazonian language Tupi Kawahib never do. In fact, Tupi Kawahib has no word for "time" at all. And while it has long been understood that languages categorize colors based on those that speakers regularly encounter, evidence suggests that the color words we have at our disposal affect how we discriminate colors themselves: a rose may not appear as rosy by any other name. What's more, the terms available to us even determine the range of smells we can identify. European languages tend to have just a few abstract odor words, like "floral" or "stinky," whereas Indigenous languages often have well over a dozen.
Why do some cultures talk anthropocentrically about things being to one's "left" or "right," while others use geocentric words like "east" and "west"? What is the connection between what we eat and the sounds we make? A Myriad

Very nice for the price
Color: Jelly Pink, Size: 8"W, Color: Jelly Pink, Size: 8"W
This is a very nice jewelry case, especially for the price (around $10). I want to note that it is top heavy; even without the mirror inside the top part it tips over (won't sit flat on the bottom part when open, most of the time). There are some minor imperfections in the case, but nothing that will prevent it from doing its job and it still looks really nice.
The necklace pocket does not have any dividers, it's one pocket.
The zipper tabs look like they were painted, I'm not sure what material is underneath, but I'm hoping it does not chip over time.
The stitching on the case looks nicely done.

Perfect for travel. Sturdy and will keep your items safe.
Color: Cloud White, Size: 8"W, Color: Cloud White, Size: 8"W
This was a galentines gift for a gift exchange.
It comes with multiple compartments that are removable and can hold any type of jewelry from studs to necklaces, rings and bracelets.
Any solid bracelet takes some maneuvering to hold.
This is semi customizable to fit your needs and will house most jewelry items.
The zipper does get stuck a bit but is a strong thick zipper and not super flimsy.
The inserts on the sides can be removed, however, the ring inserts seem to be glued down.
Bigger jewelry or chunky jewelry pieces may not fit well in this travel case.
All in all it can hold quite a bit, the size is compact and perfect for travel and it’s a handy organizer for jewelry.

Great Value For The Money
Color: White
I needed something to present my daughter's upcoming 18th birthday gift in. It's a charm bracelet and a bunch of individual meaningful charms. None of them come in gift boxes, and I want something to present them all together in. Failing to find a gift box to fit the bill, I thought that this cute jewelry box would be a nice alternative. I am pleasantly surprised at what I received for the price. I expected a flimsy cardboard-ish box, and this is not that. It's not heirloom quality, but it is a nice sturdy box, well put together, and the interior tray and dividers are thick. Interior fabric is nicely soft and velvety. The box is larger than I expected, it will hold a good amount of jewelry, and it's pretty and of much better quality than I anticipated. Will certainly make a very nice presentation for my daughter's gift, and she'll be able to use it for many years, I'm sure.
