More than half of American adults and more than seventy-five percent of young Americans believe in intelligent extraterrestrial life. This level of belief rivals that of belief in God. American Cosmic examines the mechanisms at work behind the thriving belief system in extraterrestrial life, a system that is changing and even supplanting traditional religions. Over the course of a six-year ethnographic study, D.W. Pasulka interviewed successful and influential scientists, professionals, and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who believe in extraterrestrial intelligence, thereby disproving the common misconception that only fringe members of society believe in UFOs. She argues that widespread belief in aliens is due to a number of factors including their ubiquity in modern media like The X-Files, which can influence memory, and the believability lent to that media by the search for planets that might support life. American Cosmic explores the intriguing question of how people interpret unexplainable experiences, and argues that the media is replacing religion as a cultural authority that offers believers answers about non-human intelligent life.Binding Type: Hardcover

Strong Drawstring Bags With a Light Fresh Scent and Good Fit
Scent: Tropical Island
These kitchen trash bags are easy to use and fit standard tall kitchen bins without any struggle. The drawstring closure is convenient for tying and carrying, and it feels secure when lifting the bag out once full.
The material has a good balance of flexibility and strength. It stretches enough to handle everyday kitchen waste without feeling overly thin, and it holds up well during normal use when not overloaded.
The tropical island scent is noticeable when first opening the box and while lining the bin, giving a light fresh smell that helps reduce typical kitchen odors. It is not overpowering, but it is definitely present.
I like that the bags open easily and stay in place inside the bin without slipping down. The drawstrings also make disposal more controlled and less messy compared to twist tie styles.
Overall, this is a reliable set of kitchen trash bags with a fresh scent, easy handling, and solid everyday durability that makes routine cleanup more convenient.

Great Value and Good Quality RV Queen-sized Comforter Set
Color: Beige Striped, Size: Full
We needed a smaller comforter for our RV bed to limit overhang and this one seemed like a good fit and we were right. The print is conservative and modern in appearance. The feel and thickness are perfect for our typical use in a warm weather state that we camp in year round.
Last trip out it got pretty cold overnight and we let our dog sleep on our bed. When we returned home we washed it for the first time. I held my breath to see what condition it would be in afterwards and it came out in great condition.
While we were using it, we noticed the weight, texture and comfort were all where we needed it to be and therefore we would recommend this if you needed an RV Queen sized comforter without breaking the bank.
