Perhaps no other object of our daily environment has had the enduring cultural significance of the ever-present chair, unconsciously yet forcefully shaping the physical and social dimensions of our lives. With over ninety illustrations, this book traces the history of the chair as we know it from its crudest beginnings up through the modern office variety. Drawing on anecdotes, literary references, and famous designs, Galen Cranz documents our ongoing love affair with the chair and how its evolution has been governed not by a quest for comfort or practicality, but by the designation of status.Relating much of the modern era's rampant back pain to an increasingly sedentary lifestyle spent in traditional seating, Cranz goes beyond traditional ergonomic theory to formulate new design principles that challenge the way we think and live. A farsighted and innovative approach to our most intimate habitat, this book offers guidelines that will assist readers in choosing a chair-and designing a lifestyle-that truly suits our bodies. Praise for The Chair " A] concise, multidisciplinary gem." Publishers Weekly "Cranz is no sedentary historian. The Chair is a call to action." Jonathan Levi, Los Angeles Times "Galen Cranz has written a provocative book. Pull up a comfortable chair-if you can find one-and read it." Witold Rybczynski"Binding Type: Paperback

Unbelievable results even for a skeptic like me!
I honestly don't know what witchcraft this brand uses, but I was given their eye patches as a gift and could not believe how well they worked. I am hugely skeptical, usually only believe really in actual Botox, plastic surgery, etc. So I thought the eye patches would be a waste of time. But I put them one one morning when my under eye area was all wrinkled and dried up like a prune. They were MAGIC. Then recently I saw these masks and thought I'd better try them. I have EXTREMELY SENSITIVE skin, to the point where I need regular dermatological care and can't use ANYTHING on my face. My cheeks burn and are red and like sandpaper ALL the time. But I put this mask on around 7 AM when my skin was at its most calm and non-red. I left it on for about 50 mins. Unbelievable results. My whole face is moisturized, nothing hurts, everything looks tight but feels lovely. Really impressed. I'll try to take pics next time and edit this.

Best mask ever used.
I am amazed by this mask! I used last night for the first time and am seeing smoother skin this morning!
I've used a few other masks, to include a very expensive one that promises immediate results, but none of them compare to what I am seeing this morning! I subscribed to receive these on an ongoing basis and am so glad I did.

Worked great for my skin
First time I used this face mask was after a 10 minute Vitamin C 'peel' and application of 1.5%glycolic acid (with a facial pad). Left it on for about 45 minutes at which point the mask felt 'dry'. My skin felt so soft afterwards- it literally absorbed all of the moisturizing elements.
Easy to apply and stayed put until removed.
Highly recommend!

Effective and easy to apply
Been using for a a month and really like the way my skin feels as well as some of the blemishes that have gone away. Easy to take on a trip and easy to apply. Only downside is I wish it was for the entire face and not partial.
