Maternal instinct--the all-consuming, utterly selfless love that mothers lavish on their children--has long been assumed to be an innate, indeed defining element of a woman's nature. But is it? In this provocative, groundbreaking book, renowned anthropologist (and mother) Sarah Blaffer Hrdy shares a radical new vision of motherhood and its crucial role in human evolution. Hrdy strips away stereotypes and gender-biased myths to demonstrate that traditional views of maternal behavior are essentially wishful thinking codified as objective observation. As Hrdy argues, far from being "selfless," successful primate mothers have always combined nurturing with ambition, mother love with sexual love, ambivalence with devotion. In fact all mothers, in the struggle to guarantee both their own survival and that of their offspring, deal nimbly with competing demands and conflicting strategies. In her nuanced, stunningly original interpretation of the relationships between mothers and fathers, mothers and babies, and mothers and their social groups, Hrdy offers not only a revolutionary new meaning to motherhood but an important new understanding of human evolution. Written with grace and clarity, suffused with the wisdom of a long and distinguished career, Mother Nature is a profound contribution to our understanding of who we are as a species--and why we have become this way.Binding Type: Paperback

Makeup
Size: 120 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 120 Count (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using these Almay Micellar Makeup Remover Pads, and they’ve become a staple in my skincare routine. They are super gentle on the skin, especially around the delicate eye area, and remove makeup بسهولة without any harsh rubbing.
The micellar formula works really well to lift away dirt, oil, and even stubborn eye makeup without leaving a greasy residue. 
I love that they are oil-free, fragrance-free, and hypoallergenic, making them perfect for sensitive skin and even for contact lens wearers. 
They’re also super convenient—no rinsing needed, which makes them perfect for travel or quick nighttime routines. Plus, the pads feel soft and don’t irritate my skin at all.
Overall, this is a reliable, affordable, and gentle makeup remover that gets the job done quickly and effectively. Definitely recommend!

Perfect! Gentle and oil free
Size: 80 Count (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried so many eye makeup removers that claim to be oil free only to find them feeling greasy. Finally found these and they’re PERFECT. Thin pad so it’s very gentle with no pulling. Feels clean with no greasy residue. Removes make up in the fine creases. If I wear eye shadow I’d likely need to use one per eye. If I wore mascara probably two per eye. But they’re inexpensive enough not to worry about using extra.
I’m overly sensitive to smell and I detect a very slight astringency that fades quickly. Not offensive at all and No scent.
A product that does what it says at a reasonable price. I’ll buy these forever.

Works well, burns eyes.
Size: 120 Count (Pack of 1)
This is a good product if you use it to remove eye make up or eyebrows which you can get away with using 1 pad. Affordable, effective, and gets the job done. Only downside is the smell and it burns if it gets into your eyes.
