Description:
How did time begin? What conditions led to humans evolving on Earth? Will we survive the Anthropocene? And is it really true that we're all made from stars?
The Shortest History of the World follows the continuum of historical change in the cosmos - from the Big Bang, through the evolution of life, to human history. Combining knowledge from chemistry, biology and physics with insights from the social sciences and humanities, The Shortest History of the World takes a bird's eye view of 13.8 billion years.
In this compelling and revealing book, David Baker traces the rise of complexity in the cosmos, from the first atoms to the first life and then to humans and the things we have made. He shows us how simple clumps of hydrogen gas transformed into complex human societies. This approach - Big History - allows us to see beyond the chaos of human affairs to the overall trajectory. Finally, Baker looks at the dramatic and sudden changes we're making to our planet and its biosphere and how history hints at what might come next.
'We have been the dominant species on this planet for the briefest flicker of our history, and until we understand that, we can't reckon meaningfully with the dramatic and sudden changes we're making to our planet and its biosphere.' -John Green

Quality product, the double netting is great compared to single
Size: Doube Layer
It is a double net. It holds items down and is really stretchy which is great. Feels strong and has multiple carabiners/loops to tie down whatever you are hauling.

Compact, stretches over loads, wish it had a bag.
Size: Doube Layer
I am giving the double layer netted version of this product, for my uses, a 5 star, though there are two negatives to consider up front. 1. There is no storage bag included. 2. And the 6 caribeaners included are too cheezie to trust. Yes, the caribeaners will hold the net, and I assume your heavy loads will be strapped down before netting it. So I did install them in the straps just because. Bur I'll be putting the thick straps around the edge over bed hooks.
I can't speak on how the single layer net would work, but you really will think after getting the double layer, that was the right choice. The mesh is tightly made and should hold even the messiness bag of trash in your truck bed from blowing out if you get the double layer.
When you stretch the net out, it does act like a membrane, so you need several hooks around your bed or trailer. It stretched tightly around 5.5 x 7.5 1975 Datson pickup bed trailer. As you remember these beds have hooks all the way around and a curled lip surrounding the top. So this is perfect for full edge coverage. But if you have few hooks, the net will pull inward between the points lile a membrane would. If you need a stiff heavy duty throw over style net, this is not it.
After hooked down, there is a great amount of stretch to cover good sized loads.
This net is also excellent for containing a tarp covered load, keeping the tarp from coming loose and flapping around in the wind which is always a challenge on long trips. Also it will help contain brush and trash so that ENCON won't ticket you for uncovered loads.
Light weight, easy to use, and it should hold up well for the price. Use one of those left over Ryobe tool bags you have laying around, and some better dollar-store caribeaners, and you'll be ser!
