Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism and the Mark Lynton History Prize Through the story of the pioneering photographer Eadweard Muybridge, the author of Recollections of My Nonexistence explores what it was about California in the late 19th-century that enabled it to become such a center of technological and cultural innovation The world as we know it today began in California in the late 1800s, and Eadweard Muybridge had a lot to do with it. This striking assertion is at the heart of Rebecca Solnit's new book, which weaves together biography, history, and fascinating insights into art and technology to create a boldly original portrait of America on the threshold of modernity. The story of Muybridge--who in 1872 succeeded in capturing high-speed motion photographically--becomes a lens for a larger story about the acceleration and industrialization of everyday life. Solnit shows how the peculiar freedoms and opportunities of post-Civil War California led directly to the two industries--Hollywood and Silicon Valley--that have most powerfully defined contemporary society.Binding Type: Paperback

Good, but use batteries
These work good, very bright lights. But I wish I would have gotten the solar ones. These take batteries and I don't want to keep buying batteries.

new fav
Size: 6.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
i’m always really skeptical of trying new face washes but I do love this brand and I’ve been using their lotions forever. It’s the only thing that keeps me hydrated so I thought I would give this a try I do have pretty dry skin so if I use that product alone with no moisturizer, of course I’m going to be dry, but with this wash and their lotion that I use, my skin is hydrated, I am not breaking out. This is definitely become a favorite for me, I do wear a little bit of makeup, but I haven’t tested if the wash itself takes off all the makeup I use their micellar water and then I use the cleanser and that works great!! even with that double cleanse as long as I’m using that lotion, my skin is not dry at all. I have noticed my makeup goes on smoother and I’m hydrated through these winter months. the gel texture is different, but it feels nice on the skin for me It doesn’t feel like you have to keep washing to get it off. A little goes a long way and I wouldn’t really say there is a scent to it but it’s just a very clean smell

The best face wash for extremely dry face!
Size: 6.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Best facial cleanser for very dry face. I use tretinoin and have very dry peeling face at times, that can be unbearable. I've tried nearly every brand of face wash and type. This is the best!!!! It leaves my face silky smooth, helps get all the dead skin off and lessens to eliminates my itch. I mean it when I say it's wonderful!
