Rather than organized by region or style, this book is ordered chronologically, comparing art from around the world through 30,000 years of history. With 1,000 full-color illustrations, each page is devoted to one piece of art and includes a concise yet sophisticated description that provides historical context, requiring no formal background in art. It begins in the Upper Paleolithic (ca. 28,000 B.C.) with a hand-carved mammoth ivory depiction of a lion-human from the Aurignacian culture and ends with a piece of modern Land Art located in the cinder of an extinct volcano crater near Arizona's Painted Desert. Two comparative history timelines trace the development of art and civilizations across 13 distinct world regions, allowing you to note that the creation of a floor mosaic in 750 A.D. in modern-day Jordan occurred at the same time an artisan in Gotland etched the final strokes of a picture-stone monument depicting Norse warriors sailing to Valhalla. 1,064 pages. 12 H x 12 W x 3 D. (12 3/4 lbs.).

An exact replica of the famous Jedi and Sith weapon from the epic Star Wars series, this lightsaber is faithful to every outward detail of the original hilts and reproduces the authentic, digitally recorded sounds from the movie, including the classic hum when idle, swooshing sound when swung, and clashing sound when it strikes another object or lightsaber. The sturdy blade is composed of shatterproof polycarbonate enclosed around a string of bright LEDs that illuminate in sequence from hilt to tip when turned on, providing the illusion of a focused beam of energy emanating from the hilt. As it powers up, the lightsaber replicates the actual initialization sound used in the films, and built-in motion detectors detect blade movement and prompt the same battle sounds that are the hallmarks of the elegant weapon, from a more civilized age. The hilt is made of durable die-cast aluminum and polyethylene and crafted to replicate all outward characteristics of the unique lightsabers used by Anakin Skywalker, Luke Skywalker, Yoda and Darth Vader. Requires three AA batteries. Ages 14 and up. Anakin Skywalker. Blue blade; from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. 44 L (6 lbs.).
Available only from Hammacher Schlemmer, this is the finest slot-car set available, and it is made by Carrera, the world's most prestigious slot-car maker since 1963. The set has three loops, two lane changes, a flyover, a high-banked curve, a lane-narrowing chicane, and over 35' of challenging track length that tests racers' skills in high-speed competition. Two richly detailed 1:43 Formula One cars (Ferrari F2007 and McLaren Mercedes MP4-22) use a specially designed double-contact brush, which provides a secure connection to the track for consistent control during a race. A boost button on each handheld control provides an extra 25% power boost to tackle loops and increase speed on straightaways. Includes an automatic lap counter. Durable ABS plastic withstands years of intense racing. Plugs into AC. Ages 8 and up. Imported. Assembled track requires 7 1/2' x 4 3/4' set-up area. (12 lbs.).
This is the alarm clock that pounds its fists and opens its mouth while shouting its alarm. As your selected wake-up time approaches to within five minutes, its feet and body will begin to glow, and when the alarm sounds, it begins tapping its arms lightly, but if you are dilatory in touching its snooze sensor by more than one minute, it launches into its full tantrum routine (turns off after an hour of unabated whining). It also dances to music played from its radio or your connected MP3 player, flashing its lights and swinging its arms. A sensor on its head also allows you to pet the clock, causing it to smile and tap its fists in appreciation. Its eyes will flash red when its four AA batteries (required) get too low, or it can plug into AC. Please specify Lime or Yellow. Ages 8 and up. 9 1/2 W x 7 1/2 D x 5 H. (2 1/4 lbs.).
WAS 59.95 NOW 29.95 This is the plug-and-play video game based on the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series that enables a player to assume the role of a blaster-armed Clone trooper while engaging enemies of the Galactic Republic. The game's only control--a blaster rifle--plugs into a traditional tube television. Your character receives instructions from renowned Jedi master Yoda and strives to complete 10 levels of missions involving ground combat, swoop bike-mounted combat, and base defense from a laser turret--all provided with striking graphic and audio details, including laser blasts, the whine of engines, and explosions. Blaster requires four AA batteries. Not for use with LCD, plasma, or projection TVs. Ages 6 and up.
WAS 49.95 NOW 24.95 This is the chess board that plugs into a computer for challenging play against another player or the computer itself, and rolls up to the size of a newspaper for easy transport. The flexible rubber board plugs into a USB port, and the included software memorizes where each piece has been moved in the event a game must be suspended. The software also provides hints during the game and enables you to save pictures of a game in-progress for play-by-e-mail games; it can replay an entire game on your computer's screen, allowing you to see where you made a fatal move. Three levels of challenge provide tutoring for beginners and challenging scenarios for intermediate players. Requires a PC running Windows XP and a USB port. Ages 12 and up. 10 1/4 L x 11 1/2 W x 2 1/4 H. (1 lb.).
This motion-sensitive motorcycle game connects to a television and translates a child's left- and right-leaning motion into the onscreen performance, while the left handgrip controls the brakes and a right twist-grip controls acceleration. The system has nine different play options, including racing games, obstacle courses, bumper cars, motorboat racecourses, and outerspace missions and challenges. Children can also play any of the included games using only the handheld game console for alternate play. There is no software to install or complicated set-up, and the game can be disconnected and stowed away in minutes. Requires eight AA batteries. Ages 3 and up. 15 1/2 H x 16 W x 31 L.

These are the children's gloves that play musical notes when the fingertips are tapped against any flat surface. Each glove can play an entire octave in the key of C; pressing on the heel of the hand changes the middle three fingers to the final notes A, B, and C, completing the scale. Both gloves connect with a wire to an integrated speaker unit that provides volume and tempo control for eight different tones, including piano, violin, mandolin, and more (including an additional six different percussion tones); 30 different rhythms are provided. Learning and demonstration functions allow children to tap along with the speaker unit's songs while perfecting their skills. The speaker unit clips to a belt. Made of non-toxic and hypoallergenic polyester. Includes cable for easy recharging using a computer's USB port. Ages 7 and up. Gloves fit children's hands. (1 lb.).
