Umberto Eco was an international cultural superstar. In this, his last collection, the celebrated essayist and novelist observes the changing world around him with irrepressible curiosity and profound wisdom. He sees with fresh eyes the upheaval in ideological values, the crises in politics, and the unbridled individualism that have become the backdrop of our lives--a "liquid" society in which it's not easy to find a polestar, though stars and starlets abound. In these pieces, written for his regular column in L'Espresso magazine, Eco brings his dazzling erudition and keen sense of the everyday to bear on topics such as popular culture and politics, being seen, conspiracies, the old and the young, new technologies, mass media, racism, and good manners. It is a final gift to his readers--astute, witty, and illuminating. "A swan song from one of Europe's great intellectuals . . . Eco] entertains with his intellect, humor, and insatiable curiosity." -- Kirkus Reviews "An intelligent, intriguing, and often hilariously incisive set of observations on contemporary follies and changing mores." -- Publishers Weekly "Chronicles of a Liquid Society is a wonderful reminder of a great writer, thinker, and human being." -- Toronto StarBinding Type: Paperback

Great bag, short shoulder straps
Color: Black
Love the size and the many, many pockets. The quality is great, it's really well made. But the shoulder straps are short. Like for a little kids backpack short. I love the bag so much I'm getting a kit to extend the should straps. But yeah 5 stars for the bag, minus 2 for the short shoulder straps.

Great mini backpack
Color: Black
I love this backpack purse! It has so many pockets; 2 side pockets great for water bottles, umbrella, or my sunglass case. And I love the safety features. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the adjustable straps sometimes slip out. I will need to bring it to the shoe repair shop to have one more fold sewn into the end of the strap to prevent it from continuing to slip out.

Handy backpack!
Color: Green
Love it! Perfect for a plane ride and trips to amusement parks or hikes! Both side pockets will hold a water bottle! Just what I was looking for! The color is pretty too! Much prettier in person!
