Are we deranged? The acclaimed Indian novelist Amitav Ghosh argues that future generations may well think so. How else to explain our imaginative failure in the face of global warming? In his first major book of nonfiction since In an Antique Land, Ghosh examines our inability--at the level of literature, history, and politics--to grasp the scale and violence of climate change. The extreme nature of today's climate events, Ghosh asserts, make them peculiarly resistant to contemporary modes of thinking and imagining. This is particularly true of serious literary fiction: hundred-year storms and freakish tornadoes simply feel too improbable for the novel; they are automatically consigned to other genres. In the writing of history, too, the climate crisis has sometimes led to gross simplifications; Ghosh shows that the history of the carbon economy is a tangled global story with many contradictory and counterintuitive elements. Ghosh ends by suggesting that politics, much like literature, has become a matter of personal moral reckoning rather than an arena of collective action. But to limit fiction and politics to individual moral adventure comes at a great cost. The climate crisis asks us to imagine other forms of human existence--a task to which fiction, Ghosh argues, is the best suited of all cultural forms. His book serves as a great writer's summons to confront the most urgent task of our time.Binding Type: Paperback

Dependable Nitrile Gloves for Everyday and Professional Use
Size: Large (Pack of 100)
Dependable Nitrile Gloves for Everyday and Professional Use
The MedPride Powder-Free Nitrile Exam Gloves have earned their place as my go-to disposable gloves — they strike the perfect balance between durability, comfort, and price. I’ve used them across the board: for medical work, cleaning, food prep, and even automotive or DIY projects. The material feels strong yet flexible, offering reliable puncture resistance without sacrificing dexterity.
The fit is snug and consistent across boxes, with textured fingertips that make it easy to grip tools or instruments. I also appreciate that they’re fully latex- and powder-free, so they don’t irritate my skin even after long hours of use. The smooth donning and comfortable stretch make them feel like a higher-end glove than their price suggests.
They’re versatile enough for healthcare, lab, or home environments, and the blue color keeps them looking professional. A box of 100 goes a long way, and the quality control has been excellent — no noticeable defects or early tears.
Bottom line: MedPride’s nitrile gloves are a top-tier choice for professionals and households alike — strong, comfortable, and affordable. A reliable essential for anyone who values both protection and comfort.

Multipurpose gloves.
Size: Medium (Pack of 100)
These gloves fit perfectly. They do not rip apart. I am a primary care giver for my 94 years old Mom, and babysit my toddler grandchildren. I also use them in the kitchen and house cleaning. These gloves definitely come in handy. I highly recommend these for multipurpose uses.

Simple, reliable, and gets the job done
Size: 200 Count (Pack of 1)
These are exactly what you expect from Bounty—strong, absorbent, and dependable. They hold up well without tearing easily, even when dealing with messier meals. I like that they feel a bit thicker than generic napkins, so you don’t end up using a handful every time. Great for everyday use, whether it’s quick snacks or full meals. The pack size is convenient and lasts a while, which makes it a solid value. Nothing fancy here, just a product that consistently does what it’s supposed to do. If you want quality napkins without surprises, these are a safe pick.

The Ultimate Multi-Purpose Napkin - Years of Trusted Quality!
Size: 400 Count
I've been using Bounty paper products for years, and these white napkins absolutely live up to the brand's excellent reputation. There's a reason they're my go-to choice for both napkins and paper towels - they truly are "the quicker picker upper" as their slogan says!
The 400-count package offers great value, and I appreciate how these napkins maintain their strength even when wet. Their absorbency is unmatched compared to other brands I've tried. They're perfect for everyday meals, but also work well for casual entertaining since they look clean and presentable.
What many people don't realize is just how versatile these napkins are! I sometimes even use them to wash dishes when I need something extra absorbent and sturdy. They don't disintegrate like cheaper napkins and can handle tougher cleaning jobs with ease.
If you're looking for reliable, multi-purpose paper napkins that actually work, I highly recommend sticking with Bounty. There's a reason they've been my trusted choice for so many years!
