On the Binding Biases of Time and Other Essays on General Semantics and Media Ecology consists of a series of explorations into our use of symbols, language, and media to relate to our environment, and how our different modes of perception and communication influence human consciousness, culture, and social organization. These essays draw upon and integrate the perspectives of general semantics, systems theory, and media ecology, bringing them to bear upon a diversity of topics that include the future of consciousness, identity and meaning, the Ten Commandments, media literacy, The Lord of the Rings, and our relationship to time. Throughout this volume, Strate grapples with the question of what it means to be human, and what the prospects may be for humanity's continued survival. As he concludes in the title essay of this book: "As a species, we are binders of time, bound up by our biases of time; we are moved by our consciousness of time, as we tell time, and as we tell ourselves that only time will tell; as we play for time, and as we pray, as we pray for time."Binding Type: Paperback

Beware! Very thick wire
Size: 50ft, Style: 6C-18AWG
I'm not going to ding the product, because it's totally what it says it is. I didn't look at the diagrams to see that this wire is 10mm wide. Almost half an inch. Waaaay to thick for the project I needed it for.

Fair product
Size: 30ft, Style: 6C-18AWG
nice product good price, the only issue I had was the sleeve was very loose on the wires so doesn't really hold the wires in place.

Fantastic to do 1 run and power multiple loads
Size: 30ft, Style: 6C-18AWG
Great for wiring up multiple loads. In my case multiple lighting with different switches so that I can turn them on independently from one another.

Durable, very nice wiring harness.
Size: 50ft, Style: 6C-18AWG
I am updating an emergency vehicle and am using this to run the equipment. It’s easy to work with and good thick wire. Came with nice little Velcro straps for keeping the roll together. The finish is nice on the outer casing. Nice gloss black. Excellent product. In fact I bought another 50 foot roll. And the prices for this is extremely good. Glad I found this wiring.

Size: 100ft, Style: 6C-18AWG
Good wire. Nice heaven outer casing. Have used several hundred feet of this for industrial vehicles. It comes in several wire counts. We use the 4 wire and 6 wire mostly and have never found an issue.
