In May 1995, a seven-year-old Tibetan boy and his family were taken from their home by Chinese security forces. They have not been seen since. The boy's devotees believe him to be the eleventh incarnation of the Panchen Lama, the second most important incarnation in the Tibetan Buddhist hierarchy. Isabel Hilton tells the gripping inside story of how this child became the pawn in a battle between the Chinese regime and Tibet's exiled religious leader, the Dalai Lama. In revealing the political intrigue that accompanied the race to choose and enthrone the eleventh Panchen Lama, Hilton "clarifies a great deal about the nature of Tibetan culture and history and the complexities of Tibet's relationship with China" (New York Times). "Lively and vastly entertaining.... Hilton has seen and participated in one of the final moments of a lost Tibet." Boston Sunday Globe "Riveting ....captures the panoramic scope of a remarkable story.... The ending is heartbreaking." Los Angeles Times " A]n outstanding book, well-researched, lively, scholarly, humorous, sympathetic, and eminently readable." The Tablet " A]n important book, a work of impeccable scholarship, erudition and great personal courage." Literary Review " A] crash course in Tibetan history and affairs in addition to a rattling good story." The Spectator "Hilton's excellent new book is a cool and intelligent explanation of the political intricacies surrounding the Panchen Lama." The Observer"Binding Type: Paperback

I love the shape, weight and color
Color: Green Glow in the Dark, Color: Green Glow in the Dark
I think this is a much better ergonomic shape. Most covers keep the same basic shape of the remote. My remote had the four stacked buttons instead of 2x2. I ripped them all off because I kept accidentally switching over to Netflix or espn in the middle of watching something, and that's the only reason this fits. It's made only for 4x4. At least 1 of the buttons would be covered.
The volume buttons are almost flush, so it's kinda hard to tell they're there, but they function very well.
I chose the color for the contrast on my dark grey sheets and it works really well. And it really glows ok tje dark. It didn't look like it didn't the day I bought it l, but it had to charge it the light or it wasn't dark enough.
It looks weird where ther holes are because of the remotes roundish shape. But the more I use it the more I really like the shape coupled with the weight if it. I personally like the squared off shape and the honeycomb so much. And if I upgrade to a bigger roku tv in a couple months I can keep using this cover.

Must have for Apple Remote!!
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
I regret not buying this sooner! As most of you know, the Apple TV remote is a slippery little thing, and this case is perfect! Color is bright so you can find your remote, it has a nerve grip so it’s no longer slippery, and the silicon protects it from drops. It doesn’t hinder the buttons and goes on and off super easily. Great investment for the remote.

How did I watch TV without one?
Color: blue-glow
We stayed at an AirBnB recently and the TV was set up to use the tiny, thin AppleTV remote. We have the same remote and I constantly lose it or drop it or brush the touchpad when I don’t mean to. When I saw that they had wrapped their remote in this thin silicone “case”, I went on Amazon and bought one immediately. It arrived right after we got home and took all of 10 seconds to put on the remote. It fits snuggly, but not so much that you have to worry about damaging the remote putting the case on or taking it off. It doesn’t cover any of the buttons or the plug and gives the remote a bit more heft. The ribbing and “stickiness” of the silicone makes it easier to pick up with my big fingers. Now the remote is easier to use (partly because it’s easier to pick up and to hold). It’s also harder to lose, because it makes the remote feel a bit larger, and (ours at least) is in a cool, translucent, day-glo green, that glows in the dark (sort of). Win-win-win...
