The acclaimed National Book Award winner gives us a collection of spellbinding new essays that, read together, form a jigsaw-puzzle portrait of an extraordinary man. With the publication of his best-selling Of Wolves and Men, and with the astonishing originality of Arctic Dreams, Barry Lopez established himself as that rare writer whose every book is an event, for both critics and his devoted readership. Now, in About This Life, he takes us on a literal and figurative journey across the terrain of autobiography, assembling essays of great wisdom and insight. Here is far-flung travel (the beauty of remote Hokkaido Island, the over-explored Gal pagos, enigmatic Bonaire); a naturalist's contention (Why does our society inevitably strip political power from people with intimate knowledge of the land small-scale farmers, Native Americans, Eskimos, cowboys?); and pure adventure (a dizzying series of around-the-world journeys with air freight everything from penguins to pianos). And here, too, are seven exquisite memory pieces hauntingly lyrical yet unsentimental recollections that represent Lopez's most personal work to date, and which will be read as classics of the personal essay for years to come. In writing about nature and people from around the world, by exploring the questions of our age, and, above all, by sharing a new openness about himself, Barry Lopez gives us a book that is at once vastly erudite yet intimate: a magically written and provocative work by a major American writer at the top of his form.Binding Type: Paperback

Solid surge protector, but some outlets are a tight fit
Size: 6 Ft, Color: Black
For the price, this power strip covers all the bases — 6 outlets, 3 USB ports, and a generous 6ft cord that reaches exactly where you need it without having to rearrange furniture. The surge protection at 1680 joules gives me peace of mind having it near my electronics, and the ETL listing confirms it meets safety standards which is always reassuring with electrical products. The USB ports are a nice bonus and charge my devices at a decent speed. My main gripe is that some of the AC outlet slots are noticeably stiff and tight, making it genuinely difficult to plug certain things in — I had to use a bit more force than I was comfortable with on a couple of them. It loosens up slightly with use but out of the box it was more of a struggle than it should be. Not a dealbreaker but something worth knowing especially if you're plugging in bulkier adapters. Overall a good functional surge protector for a home office or dorm room setup at a very reasonable price

Great thick surgery protector
Size: 20 Ft, Color: White
I am so glad there was a 20ft option. Our house is 104 years old and sockets were very scarce. I guess when we updated the electric we should have added more sockets lol I have a desktop Coca-Cola fridge and I run a desktop Vornado fan year round. So this was the perfect length to plug these 2 items in. I liked that this has a large extension cord on it. Feels very furable and that it has more meat in it yo protect my items vs the thin corded ones. It also has places to charge USB or USB C. Love the design a lot. Having the prongs turned to add from side works perfect and leaves more room for additional plugs. Very portable and no noise whatsoever.

Perfect for the bathroom
Color: Dark Brown, Size: 15.7 inch, Color: Dark Brown, Size: 15.7 inch
I recently installed the these floating shelves with Wire Storage Basket, and I'm genuinely impressed with their blend of style and practicality. The shelves were easy to mount, and the included hardware felt sturdy, ensuring they're securely in place. Right off the bat, I noticed the quality of the materials; the wood has a nice finish, and the wire basket is well-constructed, promising durability.
Functionality is where these shelves truly shine. The wire basket is perfect for storing smaller items, keeping them organized and within easy reach, while the shelf space is great for displaying decorative pieces. They've helped me declutter my space and add a touch of rustic charm at the same time.
Aesthetically, these shelves look great in my bathroom. Overall, these floating shelves have exceeded my expectations, offering a stylish and functional storage solution that's built to last.
