An essential book for anyone who's ever been captivated by horses, The Age of the Horse is a breathtaking exploration of the enduring connection between humans and Equus caballus. Equestrian expert Susanna Forrest presents a unique, sweeping panorama of the animal's prominent role in societies around the world and across time. Fifty-six million years ago, the earliest equid walked the earth--and beginning with the first-known horse-keepers of the Copper Age, the horse has played an integral part in human history. Combining fascinating anthropological detail and incisive personal anecdotes, Forrest draws from an immense range of archival documents as well as literature and art to illustrate how our evolution has coincided with that of horses. In paintings and poems (such as Byron's famous "Mazeppa"), in theater and classical music (including works by Liszt and Tchaikovsky), representations of the horse have changed over centuries, portraying the crucial impact that we've had on each other. Forrest deftly synthesizes this material with her own experience in the field, traveling the globe to give us a diverse, comprehensive look at the horse in our lives today: from Mongolia where she observes the endangered takhi, to a show-horse performance at the Palace of Versailles; from a polo club in Beijing to Arlington, Virginia, where veterans with PTSD are rehabilitated through interaction with horses. With passion and singular insight, Forrest investigates the complexities of human and horse coexistence, illuminating the multifaceted ways our cultures were shaped by this powerful creature.Binding Type: Hardcover

Heat tape
Number of Items: 4
The tape works well the only issue that I have is being that it is wider it does not stretch well, while wrapping my tumblers for sublimation, other than that it is a really good tape.

This is not good heat tape.
Number of Items: 2
I bought this for sublimation and t-shirt making and because you get a lot for a decent price. Well, just spend the money on the good golden tape because this stuff doesn't hold up like that. I had a few cups ruined because the tape released while in the oven. Not cool at all. I don't have a LLC to buy cups in bulk, so it wasn't 1 or 2 bucks this take ruined. So be aware that this tape is poop before using.

A must have.

I recently purchased the MEBMIK 6 Rolls 20mm x 33m (108ft) Blue Heat Tape High Temperature Heat Resistant Tape for Heat Sublimation Press Vinyl, and I couldn't be more satisfied. This tape has truly exceeded my expectations.
One of the standout features is that it doesn't leave any marks or residue behind, which is crucial for a clean, professional finish. It holds up well under high temperatures, making it perfect for heat sublimation and vinyl projects. The tape is durable and reliable, ensuring my projects come out looking great every time.
Overall, I highly recommend this heat tape for anyone involved in heat transfer or sublimation projects. It's an excellent product that performs exactly as promised.

Works well and easy to use for sublimation
Number of Items: 6
I’ve been using this heat tape for a few different sublimation projects—mugs, shirts, and a couple of random DIY gifts. It holds up great under heat. No slipping, no weird residue left behind on my blanks, and it peels off cleanly every time.
The stickiness is just right—not so strong that it’s a pain to remove, but strong enough to keep designs in place while pressing. I also like that you get several rolls in the pack, which makes it a great value for the price.
It’s easy to work with and cuts cleanly, which is helpful when you’re lining up small designs. Overall, this has made my sublimation process a lot smoother.
