This provocative perspective on America's history claims that the country's personality was defined not by the ideals of the elites and intellectuals, but by those who throughout have lived on the fringes of society history--slaves, immigrants, gangsters, and others who challenged the conventions of their day.

"Raucous, profane, and thrillingly original, Thaddeus Russell's A Renegade History of the United States turns the myths of the 'American character' on their heads with a rare mix of wit, scholarship, and storytelling flair" (Steven Johnson, author of Everything Bad Is Good for You and The Invention of Air ).

An all-new, stunning, and controversial story of the United States: It was not "good" citizens who established American liberty, declares Thaddeus Russell, but "immoral" and "degraded" people on the fringes of society whose subversive lifestyles legitimized the taboo and made America the land of the free.

In vivid portraits of renegades and their "respectable" adversaries, Russell shows that the nation's history has been driven by clashes between those interested in preserving social order and those more interested in pursuing their own desires. The more these accidental revolutionaries--drunkards, prostitutes, gangsters, unassimilated immigrants, "bad" blacks--persevered, the more American society changed for the better.

This is not the history taught in textbooks or classrooms--this renegade book will upend everything you believe about the American past.

chemical exfoliation is better than scrubbing!
Style: Exfoliating 2% AHA, Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
I'm maintaining a professional peel with these bad boys and it's working! I love how they create a smooth surface for make-up. Since I've stopped chemical exfoliation these keep my skin texture looking great.

My Makeup Finally Grips Again, These Pads Work
Style: Exfoliating 2% AHA, Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Exfoliating 2% AHA, Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
My friend recommended the Thayers toner pads because my makeup was having a hard time gripping on my nose and upper cheeks. She told me I needed at least some basic skin prep, and her routine is a cleanser, these toner pads, a moisturizer, and a weekly exfoliator. She said these pads were great , and honestly, wow. They’re a great value for the price. And I love how it’s travel-ish size for when I am running later. The toner pads alone made a huge difference. My makeup finally started gripping so much better. The first time I used them, my buildup was so bad I had to use two pads, front and back. Ever since then, my skin actually enjoys my weekly (sometimes twice‑weekly) exfoliating pads. This brand and combo make my skin look more youthful, brighter, and clean. It’s such an easy step to add, and I even take them on the go when I’m short on time. Thank you, Thayers.

Fantastic tool for dog owners!
Size: 1-pack
This is a great tool to keep your dog active without getting your hands messy! I discovered it launches better when you don't push the ball completely into the holder, but just have it in partially. The ball included is nice and bouncy. The launcher also works with Kong balls.
