"A brilliant little book [...] Those with an interest in architecture but who find the language and jargon of the genre intimidating and often impenetrable are sure to find Hodge's simple accessible style enjoyable and refreshing"- Self Build & Design

"I enjoyed this book. There is no fluff here, nothing extra. It's just a great overview of some great buildings, architectural styles and materials. The photographs are beautiful and the writing crisp and clear. I recommend this book for anyone who wants an introduction to architecture and some insights in the buildings around us or that predate us." - Goodreads reviewer

"I am an architect and most certainly enjoyed this book. (...) [T]he chapters Elements and Materials are a nice take on architectural history and will offer valuable information for non professionals! I see this book as an encyclopaedia to get basic information on various topics. But the very short chapters are really just a starting point. The images are very helpful throughout and the layout is clean and helps the reader navigate the book. You are looking for a Short Story of Architecture? That is exactly what you get, in the best possible way." - Goodreads reviewer

Other books in 'The Short Story of...' series include The Short Story of Art, The Short Story of Photography, The Short Story of Film and The Short Story of Modern Art.

Psyllium Husk Caps – Easy, Effective Fiber for Digestive Health
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1)
If you’re looking to boost your fiber intake without having to deal with mixing powders, NOW Foods Psyllium Husk Caps are a convenient solution. Each capsule contains 500 mg of psyllium husk, a natural soluble fiber that supports digestive health and helps keep you regular. With 500 capsules per bottle, this is a great value, especially for anyone who wants to incorporate fiber into their daily routine easily. Benefits and Effectiveness: Psyllium husk is known for its ability to absorb water and form a gel-like substance that moves through your digestive system, helping to support regularity and bowel health. These capsules make it easy to get the benefits of psyllium without the gritty texture of powders. The soluble fiber also promotes satiety, so you may find it helpful if you’re looking to manage hunger or maintain a balanced diet. Easy to Take: With the capsule form, you don’t need to measure or mix anything. Just take a few capsules with a full glass of water, and you’re all set. Be sure to drink plenty of water with each dose, as psyllium absorbs water and needs enough fluid to be effective. Quality and Assurance: NOW Foods is a trusted brand, and these psyllium husk caps are Non-GMO Project Verified, which means they meet strict quality standards. The capsules are also vegetarian, making them a great choice for those following plant-based diets. Pros: Convenient capsule form—no mixing or measuring needed Supports regularity and digestive health Non-GMO and vegetarian-friendly High-quality, affordable option for daily fiber intake Cons: The capsules are a bit large, so if you have difficulty swallowing pills, keep this in mind It’s important to drink plenty of water with these, which may be challenging for some users If you’re new to fiber supplements, start with a lower dose to avoid potential digestive discomfort Pro Tip: Start with a small dose if you’re new to fiber supplements—try one or two capsules and gradually increase to avoid bloating or discomfort as your body adjusts to the added fiber. Bottom Line: NOW Foods Psyllium Husk Caps offer a simple, effective way to increase your fiber intake and support digestive health. They’re convenient, high-quality, and come in a generous 500-capsule bottle, making them a great addition to your daily wellness routine. If you want an easy fiber boost without the fuss of mixing powders, these capsules are an excellent choice.

A dose is more than one pill so you need to take it throughout the day
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1)
I am a small person who eats plenty of vegetables but still sometimes struggles with constipation, I like to take fiber to ensure regularity. These supplements aren't my favorite. Psyllium Husk is supposed to the one of the best kinds of fiber but I find I need to take a lot of these pills for the same effect - a dose is 6-9 pills a day, spread out. Other brands I've been able to take 1 a day and that's enough but these I need 2-4. The flavor is mild but noticeable, there is no aftertaste at all. The pills are capped in soft plastic and not too big so they're very easy to swallow. You get 500 in a bottle so definitely getting your money's worth.

Love this supplement! Had lowered my cholesterol as I have not changed my diet much. This supplement does not give me indigestion unlike some other brands I have tried.
