Finalist for Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction
Finalist for National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction

Pronged ants, horned humans, a landscape carved on a fruit pit--some of the displays in David Wilson's Museum of Jurassic Technology are hoaxes. But which ones? As he guides readers through an intellectual hall of mirrors, Lawrence Weschler revisits the 16th-century "wonder cabinets" that were the first museums and compels readers to examine the imaginative origins of both art and science.

Gentle but very effective in removing all types of makeup
Size: 25 Count (Pack of 1)
I had been using a different brand of make up remover towelettes for years until one day I opened up a new pack and my eyes swelled up and my skin looked burned around my eyes . A waited a few days & tried it again and same thing - only worse . It seems that the manufacturer changed the formula ( why manufacturers insist on fixing something when it’s not broken is beyond me ). Anyway , I googled and read up on all kinds of make up remover towelets and took note that the Simple Kind to Skin seemed to have the best reviews . I tried them and have been using them ever since . They are non greasy which I love , extremely gentle on the skin but excellent on removing makeup even stubborn waterproof mascara . And they don’t dry out your skin . Good product . Note to manufacturer : please do not EVER change this formula .

Gentle, refreshing, and doesn’t dry my skin out!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It’s great for everyday use, especially if you have sensitive or dry skin. The texture is smooth, it rinses off easily, and the scent is light and pleasant. I’ve noticed my skin looks clearer and more even since I started using it. Definitely a great option if you want something simple, gentle, and effective for daily cleansing!

Gentle Fragrance free Non-greasy Gel Cleanser
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I bought this for my two teenage sons. I tend to lean towards more natural products. It's challenging to find affordable effective products that not loaded with all the additives and chemicals. While all the ingredients may not be completely "all natural" it is gentle and effective. My oldest has been using this for about 6 months and has had great results so far. He has already went through an entire bottle and asked for more. It does help keep his face well balanced and his break outs under control. It is a fragrance-free non greasy gel cleanser with a thin consistency. I got a good discount by purchasing two which is a great value for this product since it is already a decent price for what you get. My family also uses the Thayers witch hazel, milky cleanser, and milky toner and they are all great. We have some sensitive skin types in our family and Thayers does well with sensitive skin types including this Ph balancing cleanser.
