In this original and controversial book, historian and philosopher Reviel Netz explores the development of a controlling and pain-inducing technology--barbed wire. Surveying its development from 1874 to 1954, Netz describes its use to control cattle during the colonization of the American West and to control people in Nazi concentration camps and the Russian Gulag. Physical control over space was no longer symbolic after 1874. This is a history told from the perspective of its victims. With vivid examples of the interconnectedness of humans, animals, and the environment, this dramatic account of barbed wire presents modern history through the lens of motion being prevented. Drawing together the history of humans and animals, Netz delivers a compelling new perspective on the issues of colonialism, capitalism, warfare, globalization, violence, and suffering. Theoretically sophisticated but written with a broad readership in mind, Barbed Wire calls for nothing less than a reconsideration of modernity.Binding Type: Paperback

Works well, spacious
Color: Black, Color: Black
Quality: This holder is actually really nice. It feels sturdy and well made, not flimsy or cheap at all. The material has a solid feel to it, and it holds everything in place without tipping or sliding around.
Size and Capacity: This thing is bigger than I expected in a good way. There is plenty of space for multiple sponges, scrubbers, and even a small bottle of dish soap without everything feeling crammed together.
It also has a removable compartment specifically for longer dish brushes, which is really convenient. It keeps them upright and separate so they are not just laying across everything else.
Use and Functionality: The functionality is great. It is very easy to use and keeps everything organized and in one spot instead of scattered around the sink.
One of the best parts is the drainage. Any excess water drains right back into the sink, and I have not had any issues with water pooling at the bottom. That alone makes a big difference in keeping things cleaner and less messy.
Overall, It looks good, feels good, and does exactly what it is supposed to do. Good quality, very functional, and worth the price. Definitely a solid kitchen sink organizer.

Every kitchen needs one of these!!!
Color: Black, Color: Black
Whoever designed this is absolutely brilliant!! I have had so many sponge holders that either sit on the edge of the sink and make a big huge mess or they’re attached to the inside of the sink with suction cups and they fall off and they get in the way. This one is absolutely perfect. It has a little tray built-in on a slant so when you set your sponge or whatever in there, the water runs down back into the sink. No more water puddling on the sink running onto the counter. This drains it right back in the sink automatically I am thrilled with this sponge holder !! It’s a nice color and very well-made. It’s metal but the drain tray is a hard plastic , which is fantastic because then it won’t rust. I am all about making things in life easier and this sponge holder not only looks great , it will eliminate cleaning up messes off the side of the sink. I posted a picture with water running into the sponge holder and it shows how the water runs down into the sink… It holds various sizes of sponges. It’s got a little area for a brush .I have a couple of my smiley sponges ( no names mentioned ) that fit in there perfectly.. every kitchen should have one of these without a doubt!!!

Adequate sponge organizer
Color: Black, Color: Black
This is a black matte metal sponge organizer. It does have a tilted drip tray so the water drips down into your sink. The metal is cheap but effective. For the price, the added organization you get from this item is worth it! Could also be used in a bathroom. There is no mounting hardware included, not even adhesives.
The metal is already warped out of the box. This is not a high quality item, but the price is fair!

Slim, Stylish, and Perfect for Keeping Counters Organized
Size: B 1PCS, Color: Black
I love the slim, compact size of this organizer. It takes up much less counter space while still offering the perfect amount of compartmentalization for keeping everything neat and easy to find. The material is a big plus since it won’t rust, and it looks really nice on my countertop. It definitely helps my counter look less cluttered and more organized. Overall, a great functional and attractive storage solution.
