Ausgezeichnet mit dem Deutschen Wirtschaftsbuchpreis 2024 und als Wissensbuch des Jahres 2024 Sand, Eisen, Salz, Öl, Kupfer und Lithium: Diese auf den ersten Blick unscheinbaren, aber magischen Materialien haben über das Schicksal und den Wohlstand von Imperien entschieden, Zivilisationen hervorgebracht und zerstört sowie unsere Gier und unseren Erfindungsreichtum über Jahrtausende hinweg genährt. Doch die Geschichte dieser unbesungenen Helden ist noch lange nicht zu Ende erzählt, der Kampf um ihre Kontrolle wird unsere Zukunft maßgeblich bestimmen. Denn diese Rohstoffe bilden das Gerüst unserer modernen Welt: Sauberes Trinkwasser, Elektrizität, lebenswichtige Impfstoffe und auch eine ökologische Wende wären ohne sie nicht vorstellbar. Ed Conway geht in diesem Buch der Geschichte und Zukunft unserer menschlichen Zivilisation auf neue Weise buchstäblich auf den Grund. "Ein moderner Klassiker. Und ein großartiges Buch. Du fängst an zu lesen und wirst es nicht mehr los." Lanz & Precht

Bought for playing classical guitar
Color: Black, Size: 12" x 10'
This roll of rubberized material can be used as a non-slip leg cover to keep a classical guitar from moving. It works pretty well. My only gripe is it doesn't seem rubberized enough as my guitar will move if it isn't flat on the pad. It works well otherwise.

Great value - car rattle elimination
Color: Black, Size: 12" x 10'
Well made, easy to cut to needed size and shape. I've used this stuff for years for a variety of needs, and bought this roll to match my new car's interior to eliminate and rattles from the junk I carry around in my console and dash compartment. Can't stand rattles! It works very well for the purpose.

Great Alternative Pet Use (Floor Traction)
Color: Black, Size: 12" x 10'
I would definitely recommend these Grip Easy Shelf Liners - for an alternative use.
We have a pet who struggles with mobility and slips on hard/smooth surfaces. We use this product as anti-slide mats to provide traction. While we also use rugs (etc.), these actually have a few unique benefits:
- Customizable: They are made to be cut-to-size, so they can be adjusted for unusually shaped areas.
- Waterproof (enough): Because they are rubber, they're great for use on the floor of the tub/shower for no-slip pet bathing - and can be rolled up for easy storage once dry. This also makes them easy to clean.
- Travel-Friendly: They are thin, light, and soft enough to be rolled up tightly, making them great for travel.
- Walking Paths: Because they are sold in long rolls, they can be used to create runways for commonly used grab paths (at far lower cost than carpet runners would be to cover the same area).
- Low Cost: They are very cost-effective, making them easy options for trial (low-commitment to see if this works for you), seasonal, temporary (I wish we did this when my dog was recovering from knee surgery, for example), or supplemental use with additional solutions.
So while I can't provide any information on how this product works for its intended use as a shelf/drawer liner, it works great for our alternate use case. I hope this information helps someone else!

Makes a great pad for an ergonomic keyboard and mouse
Color: Taupe, Size: 12-Inch x 20 Feet
After learning about the dangers of a sedentary lifestyle, I switched to a standing desk. I found an old, four-drawer desk once used for the production of a weekly newspaper. It is now a converted stand-up writing desk with a shiny, smooth lacquered finish. I love the desk and I'm adjusting to the switch of working from a standing position.
One problem arose. My laptop keyboard and mouse wouldn't stay in place. As I typed, the keyboard would rattle and slide down the desk.
A co-worker suggested I try
. It works better than I expected. My Logitech Optical TrackMan Mouse and
now stay in place. My keyboard is 11 inches wide, so the 12-inch wide material is a perfect fit. The liner is sticky, so much so that I have to hold the material down to lift the mouse from it. The liner left no residue on my desk.
I used 30 inches of the material for a base beneath my ergonomic keyboard and mouse. I plan to change the liner as often as needed, since it will collect more dirt and dust than if it were stored in a drawer. That means I can replace my modified keyboard/mouse pad seven more times. Getting eight pads for $8.99 is a good value.
Rating: Five stars.
UPDATE: I received a question from another Amazon customer regarding my mouse. The
features a large, finger-controlled trackball. A regular mouse would not work on the shelf liner but it is fantastic for trackballs.

Liner seems good, but releases strong fumes
Color: Taupe, Size: 12-Inch x 20 Feet
The liner is quite functional, it looks fine and is manufactured in a straight/square style (the other thicker foam style liner is not straight and is hard to cut square).
The downside, with the 2 rolls that I got, is that the liner has a nasty off-gassing of fumes, so I suggest cutting it to size, and then putting it through a wash cycle (dishwasher or clothes washer) and then putting it in place after drying. If you don't do this, then those of you who are sensitive to these kinds of fumes, might have to unload the items and wash the liner at a later time.
Many are oblivious and won't notice the fumes (at first or ever) and they just go on, never making the connection as to why their kitchen stinks, or they have headaches (or imagined allergies, etc.). It took me days to figure it out. If you have a new roll of the liner, just smell it, and realize that if you don't wash this material, those fumes will be leaching out into your cupboard for a while (perhaps longer). For those that can't smell it, then I guess you'll be quite happy about that.
While the liner looks fine, and easily cuts square, I can't give this a higher rating as the washing effort adds so much effort to the process.
More and more items produce these kinds of fumes and I think reviewers should mention this as part of their overall rating.
