Description:

With the advent of print in the fifteenth century, Europe's cultural elite assembled personal libraries as refuges from persecutions and pandemics. Andrew Hui tells the remarkable story of the Renaissance studiolo a 'little studio' and reveals how these spaces dedicated to self-cultivation became both a remedy and a poison for the soul.

Blending fresh, insightful readings of literary and visual works with engaging accounts of his life as an insatiable bookworm, Hui traces how humanists from Petrarch to Machiavelli to Montaigne created their own intimate studies. He looks at imaginary libraries in Rabelais, Cervantes, Shakespeare, and Marlowe, and discusses how Renaissance painters depicted the Virgin Mary and St. Jerome as saintly bibliophiles. Yet writers of the period also saw a dark side to solitary reading. It drove Don Quixote to madness, Prospero to exile, and Faustus to perdition. Hui draws parallels with our own age of information surplus and charts the studiolo's influence on bibliographic fabulists like Jorge Luis Borges and Umberto Eco.

Beautifully illustrated, The Study is at once a celebration of bibliophilia and a critique of bibliomania. Incorporating perspectives on Islamic, Mughal, and Chinese book cultures, it offers a timely and eloquent meditation on the ways we read and misread today.

One cable does it all, rock solid Ethernet and great 4K output
This hub has simplified my desk setup considerably. I plug it into my MacBook and instantly have Ethernet, 4K HDMI, two USB-A ports, and 100W charging all from one connection. The Ethernet is Gigabit and the speeds are as fast as plugging directly into the router. The 4K HDMI output to my monitor is clean with no flickering. It runs slightly warm during extended use but nothing alarming. Build quality feels solid and UGREEN has been consistently reliable in my experience. Worth every penny if you need to expand a USB-C only laptop.

Nothing Special
Works as intended. I bought it mostly for the Ethernet adapter which was plug and play with the latest installation of Fedora Linux and uses an AX88179 Gigabit Ethernet chipset. The Ethernet portion does not have activity lights. A bit of a lazy omission. Port locations are smartly placed with the HDMI output and power input at the back facing one direction, and the Type A USB peripheral ports facing the other. This is great for cable routing. The single Type C port is only for power delivery. It will not work for data to connect other peripherals.

UGREEN
Very useful and compact USB-C hub. It easily expands connectivity with HDMI, USB ports, and fast charging support. The 4K HDMI output works well for presentations and streaming, and the 100W power delivery keeps devices charged without issues. Build quality feels solid, and it’s perfect for travel or daily use. Great value for the price.

Compact and useful.
It's small and light enough to fit in my bag easily. My computer uses a USB-c charger, and there's only one port, but I was able to use it for ethernet, and pass the charging through the same port. I've had issues with my computer not recognizing charging from some sources before, so this was great.
