A journey through the evolution of knowledge, communication, and information.The debut non-fiction book by best-selling author Chris Haughton.
History, as it is often taught, is a list of kings and queens and treaties and events. It presents the what and when, but it rarely asks why.
Why is it that we had kings and queens at all?
Why then all of a sudden did we abandon them and shift to democracies?
Why did the world's religions rise around the same time?
Why is society dominated by men?
The answers all come down to the same thing: information. The striving to share information, and - at the same time - the striving to undermine it, explains so much of today's world and connects so many seemingly unconnected things: the rise of religions, states, science, democracy, the west, militarism, racism, fascism, consumerism, big tech, polarization, and AI.
This history of information is closely connected to the history of visual communication - and as these two are largely the same - it makes sense to tell this story visually: a history of graphics told through graphics. The History of Information, through a mix of timelines, graphics, and illustrations, clearly breaks down and explains each concept for children and adults alike.
The History of Information includes:
- A beautiful look at the story of information; from the first languages and cave paintings, through to how we communicate and record information today.
- Content written and illustrated by world famous and multi-award winning author and illustrator, Chris Haughton.
- A global journey throughout history from the origination of language, how information has been passed on and recorded, and how this affected humanity.
Haughton, Chris

Works like it should, easier to use if you keep the dosing funnel on the basket
Color: Black, Color: Black
With a weighted top and storage base, this is sturdy metal with what appear to be standard acupuncture needles. It comes with a set of spare needles in a plastic tube.
I find it much easier to use if I keep my dosing funnel on the basket, followed by a quick clearing of the funnel using a weighted espresso distribution tool with the maximum extension before popping off the funnel for my final tamp. See photo.

Simple tool that makes a difference
Color: Black
This tool really improved my espresso. It’s easy to use and helps distribute the coffee evenly, which makes the shots come out better. It feels solid and well made. Small but very useful.

It's not bad, but one minor issue FOR ME
Color: Black
There is nothing generally not to dislike about this WDT. Priced right. Good quality materials. But there are two issues that made me choose a different one, even before using this one:
The entire top and bottom are straight cylindrical pieces. Ergonomically I would have to use more, larger muscle movement from my wrist to stir the beans. Not a big deal for some, but with other similar choices at the same price, I thought I would be better off with a different model. The second issue is that then the needles are placed back in the tall "recepticle", the top piece merely sits on top and isn't secured. For some that might be good because the top can be lifted out without any opposing force. OTOH, if it tips over it might expose the needles or need two hands to get it back together. If I didn't have other choices, I'd keep this one. I knew, without even using it that it wasn't for me... but it might be for someone else. Again, the materials are quite good and you can tell by the heft of the item.
I elected to go with a similar concept, but a more contoured design with a knurled top and brushes on the inside of the recepticle to hold the needles and top in place, but also easy to extract for use. My choice over the Tiverain WDT was personal and has nothing to do with the quality of the product.

High quality and looks great
Color: Black
Works well, definitely deep enough. I like the stand- ease of lifting it off its base and then returning it without needing a second hand. Has a modern sleek look and it’s heavy in a good way. Feels like quality build.
