Something New Under the Sun: An Environmental History of the Twentieth-Century WorldThe history of the twentieth century is most often told through its world wars, the rise and fall of communism, or its economic upheavals. In his startling new book, J. R. McNeill gives us our first general account of what may prove to be the most significant dimension of the twentieth century: its environmental history. To a degree unprecedented in human history, we have refashioned the earth's air, water, and soil, and the biosphere of which we are

The history of the twentieth century is most often told through its world wars, the rise and fall of communism, or its economic upheavals. In his startling new book, J. R. McNeill gives us our first general account of what may prove to be the most significant dimension of the twentieth century: its environmental history. To a degree unprecedented in human history, we have refashioned the earth's air, water, and soil, and the biosphere of which we are a part. Based on exhaustive research, McNeill's story--a compelling blend of anecdotes, data, and shrewd analysis--never preaches: it is our definitive account. This is a volume in The Global Century Series (general editor, Paul Kennedy).

This is never emailed
We have never received this warranty after asking multiple times and it is impossible to connect with seller directly. I highly recommend not buying the watch or the warranty. We only purchased the watch because of this warranty coverage. I suspect that the warranty is invalid anyway if anyone does get it emailed to them. So we buy the watch with warranty, it never comes so we just ask for a refund on the warranty payment but we keep the watch which probably dies within two or three years and because it’s not from the Fossil company we can’t do anything about it breaking down so soon. My guess is that’s the plan. Very disappointed and will not use this seller again.

Watch insurance
I purchased a citizen watch from Amazon and decided to get warranty they was pushing 🫸 not knowing I was given a 5 yr warranty from citizen company with purchase! Cannot give opinions on it because I have gotten no information about this program and have not had to use it... but I can contact them anyway....

Solid Timepiece
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
Overall, I’m really happy with this watch. The only small complaint I have is adjusting the bracelet. I picked up a $15 watch repair kit to size it myself, and while it wasn’t difficult, the push-pin links were definitely more of a hassle than I expected—especially compared to my Oyster bracelet with screws. Just a bit time-consuming, nothing major. Once that part was done, though, I’ve loved everything about it. It’s a great everyday watch, surprisingly accurate, and one of those pieces you just don’t get tired of looking at. For what it’s worth, this is coming from someone who also owns a Submariner—not trying to flex, and yes, I fully realize how douchey that sounds. Nothing screams “please validate my life choices” like bragging about an overpriced watch that basically just tells time. But in all seriousness, I only mention it to give some perspective on how much I genuinely enjoy this one.
