Human beings have long seen themselves as the center of the universe, the apple of God's eye, specially-created creatures who are somehow above and beyond the natural world. This viewpoint--a persistent paradigm of our own unique self-importance--is as dangerous as it is false. In Through a Glass Brightly, noted scientist David P. Barash explores the process by which science has, throughout time, cut humanity "down to size," and how humanity has responded. A good paradigm is a tough thing to lose, especially when its replacement leaves us feeling more vulnerable and less special. And yet, as science has progressed, we find ourselves--like it or not--bereft of many of our most cherished beliefs, confronting an array of paradigms lost. Barash models his argument around a set of "old" and "new" paradigms that define humanity's place in the universe. This new set of paradigms range from provocative revelations as to whether human beings are well designed, whether the universe has somehow been established with our species in mind (the so-called anthropic principle), whether life itself is inherently fragile, and whether Homo sapiens might someday be genetically combined with other species (and what that would mean for our self-image). Rather than seeing ourselves through a glass darkly, science enables us to perceive our strengths and weaknesses brightly and accurately at last, so that paradigms lost becomes wisdom gained. The result is a bracing, remarkably hopeful view of who we really are.Binding Type: Hardcover

Easy, Gentle and Convenient
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 25)
These wipes are super convenient and easy to use. On days when I am exhausted and just want to crawl into bed without doing a full skincare routine, these are what I reach for. They remove makeup, sunscreen and dirt well without leaving my skin feeling tight or dry. I really like that they contain ceramides, which helps keep my skin feeling hydrated and balanced. Perfect for those nights you are just tired or want a quick cleansing after working out. They also don’t have a scent which is a plus for me.

Removes makeup quickly and conveniently without having to wash your face.
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 25)
First a little about me ... I am a 72 year old woman and I don't wear a lot of makeup. I did back in the 60's and 70's when Twiggy was a fashion icon, hot pants, white boots and London makeup was all the rage. Black and white cat eye eyeliner, long thick lashes and pale lip colors!
I only wear makeup now when going out ... none at home. Covid also put a stop to daily makeup ... why wear makeup it you can't see your face!lol I like a natural look for my age. I wear a light dusting of Laura Geller's baked powder foundation or her liquid foundation. Starting with a primer, then foundation, some blush, and a natural colored lip gloss ... but no eye makeup. I am so envious 💚 of those who can wear the beautiful colored eye shadows, liners and long thick lashes!!! I unfortunately have had fibromyalgia for many years and it causes extreme dry eyes along with the medication I take for it. Any eye makeup is a waste of time for me as I will look like a raccoon 🦝 by the end of the day from rubbing my dry eyes!lol
I was looking for a quick way to remove my makeup without soap and water. I live in Colorado and my skin is dry. Washing my face more than twice a day with soap & water drys my skin out. So I saw this and decided to give it a try.
At first I wasn't sure if there was anything on the cloth when I pulled it from it's holder, but evidently there was because it removed all my makeup very easily with just one cloth. I did not have to apply a lot of pressure, just wiped my face softy all over. It didn't seem to dry out my skin on my face or leave a greasy feel behind either. My face even felt less dry when I woke up in the morning.
I would imagine depending on how much makeup you wear or what kind, may affect how many wipes you would need. I can see it being very useful for getting rid of eye makeup, but it does say if you get it in your eyes to rinse your eyes thoroughly with water.
For me it is a good buy so far. I will update as I continue using it and how my skin feels. 5 out of 5
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
UPDATE: I used this to remove my oil based face paint that I used for my halloween makeup this year (I was a scarecrow) and it came off very nicely. I did use 2 cloths though just to make sure I left no paint residue behind.

Gets make up off easily!
Size: 50 Count (Pack of 1)
The take off makeup really well! I cannot believe how much makeup it takes off. My Climate makeup last and this takes it off. I was using wiped and not doing extra cleaning. My face feels awful in the morning. Using these and cleanser and my face feel good when I wake up.

Best Makeup Remover!
Size: 50 Count (Pack of 1)
I’m in love with these cloths! I wear waterproof SPF moisturizer, foundation and mascara daily. Before discovering these cloths, removing my makeup was such a chore! Previously I had to use mineral oil to sufficiently break down the waterproof ingredients, wipe the messy oil off with a washcloth, and follow with my regular facial cleanser. Now, I only have to use 1-2 of these cloths to fully remove the products I use and follow with a cleanser! It’s so much simpler and less messy (the mineral oil would always stick around on my bathroom sink). Although these cloths cost more than the oil, they’re a time saver and I don’t put off/sleep with my makeup on anymore! They are very gentle on my skin and don’t leave any scent behind. Highly recommend these!
