Description:
In books such as The Aesthetics of Disappearance, War and
Cinema, The Lost Dimension, and The Vision
Machine, Paul Virilio has fundamentally changed how we think
about contemporary media culture. Virilio?s examinations of
the connections between perception, logistics, the city, and new
media technologies comprise some of the most powerful texts within
his hypermodern philosophy.
Virilio and the Media presents an introduction to
Virilio?s important media related ideas, from polar inertia
and the accident to the landscape of events, cities of panic, and
the instrumental image loop of television. John Armitage positions
Virilio?s essential media texts in their theoretical contexts
whilst outlining their substantial influence on recent cultural
thinking. Consequently, Armitage renders Virilio?s media
texts accessible, priming his readers to create individual critical
evaluations of Virilio?s writings. The book closes with an
annotated and user-friendly Guide to Further Reading and a
non-technical Glossary of Virilio?s significant
concepts.
Virilio?s texts on the media are vital for everyone concerned
with contemporary media culture, and Virilio and the Media
offers a comprehensive and up to date introduction to the ever
expanding range of his critical media and cultural works.

Soft, Warm, and Holds Up Well After Washing
We grabbed this primarily for couch lounging and it has been a regular rotation blanket since it arrived. The softness is legitimate, not the kind that feels good out of the packaging and then stiffens up after a wash or two. It has gone through the machine multiple times and both the texture and the leopard print have held up without fading or pilling. The 50 by 60 inch size is a comfortable fit for one person stretched out on the couch.
It is warm without being heavy, which makes it practical across seasons rather than just winter. The print looks sharp and adds some personality to a living room without being over the top. For a throw blanket at this price, the quality is better than expected and it has earned a permanent spot on our couch. If you are looking for something soft, visually interesting, and durable enough to actually use regularly, this one delivers.

Pretty good blanket. Slightly larger than normal throw.
I purchased this leopard print throw blanket because you can get it in twin size and twin size is a lot more usable in not only a bed but also on a couch. Like if you have two people sitting next to each other, it's a lot easier to use the twin size than a throw size, which I feel is a little bit cramped.
In addition to that, I saw in the picture that this looked almost like fur. Now when you look at it in person, you can clearly tell it's not for it's got almost like a a spotted pattern even with the spots. And while I don't know if leopards actually look like that, certainly at a distance, it feels a lot more accurate than things that are only vaguely leopard printed like the the common pink ones, as you can see here in the other variety. But certainly the Brown leopard one looks good.
Plus, it is comfortable and pretty soft. It's softer on one side than another side, but only slightly and while it's rolled over and stitched at the edges, it is a single layer throughout. So it's not going to give you a ton of warmth. But I will give you some warmth, you know just enough to be nice and that means you can use it year round.
So overall at this price for a twin size leopard print throw. I think this is a good deal. Well I think it could be a better deal. I've certainly seen worse so I think I could recommend this product

Pink cheetah blanket
Color: Pink Leopard, Size: Throw(50" x 60")
I recently got this pink cheetah print throw blanket, and honestly, it’s such a fun and cozy addition to my space. The first thing that stood out to me was the design—the pink leopard print is super cute and adds a pop of personality to my couch without being too overwhelming.
The material is really soft and lightweight, which makes it perfect for everyday use. It’s warm enough to keep me comfortable while lounging or watching TV, but not too heavy where it feels bulky. I also like that it’s easy to fold and move around, whether I’m using it in the living room or taking it to bed.
Size-wise (50” x 60”), it’s a good throw size—great for one person, though if you’re looking to fully wrap up, it might feel a bit small. The quality feels decent for the price, and it seems to hold up well after use without shedding.
Pros:
• Super soft and cozy
• Cute, trendy design
• Lightweight and easy to use
• Good value for the price
Cons:
• Slightly small if you want full coverage
• Not the thickest blanket for colder nights
Overall, I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for something stylish, comfy, and affordable to decorate your space while staying cozy.

Good quality
Color: Pink, Size: 50"Wx60"L
My great granddaughter asked for this throw so I purchased it for her. The throw is so soft and looks exactly like the picture. The quality is good and the price was right. It’s light weight so she can roll it up and throw in her backpack to take to friends houses. I received the throw on time and I would recommend this product and seller.

It sheds
Color: Pink, Size: 50"Wx60"L
When I bought the blanket with the assumption that it would be pink leopard on both sides. Unfortunately, when I retrieved, my package it was white on the inside and pink leopard on the outside. It was nice until it started to shed so I gave it to my sister. I did not like the size I should've gotten something way bigger. It will keep you warm though. Especially during your period. It wasn't all the way soft because one side was odd the other is what you actually offer so that part I didn't like very much. Overall it does get the warming job done.
