The Cartoon History of the Universe III: From the Rise of Arabia to the RenaissanceLarry Gonick's celebrated series The Cartoon History of the Universe is a unique fusion of world history and the comics medium, a work of serious scholarship and a masterpiece of popular literature. Praised by Jonathan Spence in the New York Times Book Review as "a curious hybrid, at once flippant and scholarly, witty and politically correct, zany and traditionalist," Gonick's clever illustrations deliver important information with a deceptively light
Larry Gonick's celebrated series The Cartoon History of the Universe is a unique fusion of world history and the comics medium, a work of serious scholarship and a masterpiece of popular literature. Praised by Jonathan Spence in the New York Times Book Review as "a curious hybrid, at once flippant and scholarly, witty and politically correct, zany and traditionalist," Gonick's clever illustrations deliver important information with a deceptively light tone, teaching us about the people and events that have shaped our world. This long-awaited new volume covers the Middle Ages around the globe, including the multicultural Middle East, West Africa and the cross-Saharan trade, Central Asia and the Byzantine Empire, the European Dark Ages and the Crusades, the Mongol conquests, the Black Death, the Ottoman Empire, the Italian Renaissance, and the rise of Spain, leading up to Columbus's departure for the new world. Gonick offers an historical survey that is at once multicultural, humanistic, skeptical, and laugh-out-loud funny.Binding Type: Paperback

Too big, gets hot on bottom
Color: Black
After receiving this, I see it's frequently returned. I wish I didn't buy it. It's too large for my space where I kept my previous warmer and I tried it out; it got quite hot on the bottom. Nothing great about it. I'm boxing it back up and back to the drawing board.

Great
Color: Silver
This coffee and tea warmer is an absolute game-changer! I work from home and love keeping my beverages hot throughout the day. This device truly lives up to its promises. It heats up incredibly quickly and maintains a consistent temperature, keeping my drinks warm for the price. I can’t find a better option, and the auto-shut-off feature is a huge plus. The temperature control is precise, and it actually performs as advertised. I highly recommend this product for its affordability, multiple temperature settings, and reliable performance. It has everything I was looking for in a coffee and tea warmer. The previous one I had worked well and had an auto-shut-off, but I kept accidentally shaking the cup, causing it to spill and melt. This one seems to be well-constructed and definitely worth the investment.

No more cold coffee!
Color: Silver
Great price for all the nifty features - timer, auto shut-off, hot and hotter! Large button icons and digital temperature display are easy to see. My coffee and tea stay hot enough to drink without making multiple trips to the microwave because I got busy and let it get cold. New best friend!

i can’t believe how long i went without this
Color: Silver, Color: Silver
i never expected how much of a difference this item would or could make in my nightly tea routine.
i’m a slow sipper and would normally have to get up and microwave my mug 1-2 times depending on how willing i was to stop everything i was doing and move out of my comfy spot to remedy the impending sad lukewarm experience. YALL! the temperature really does make it taste better (i already knew that) but now i can settle into my spot in cozy PEACE and take as long as i want to to enjoy my tea.
i was worried if the lower price point compared to other options on amazon would mean it may be lacking in quality or function, but NOPE! just a genuinely good deal (about $10 at the time of this review) and the features are all there. yes yes yes, go ahead and treat yourself because this one is worth it.
