Description:


In 1969, Princeton physicist Gerard O'Neill began looking outward to space colonies as the new frontier for humanity's expansion. A decade later, Eric Drexler, an MIT-trained engineer, turned his attention to the molecular world as the place where society's future needs could be met using self-replicating nanoscale machines. These modern utopians predicted that their technologies could transform society as humans mastered the ability to create new worlds, undertook atomic-scale engineering, and, if truly successful, overcame their own biological limits. The Visioneers tells the story of how these scientists and the communities they fostered imagined, designed, and popularized speculative technologies such as space colonies and nanotechnologies. Patrick McCray traces how these visioneers blended countercultural ideals with hard science, entrepreneurship, libertarianism, and unbridled optimism about the future. He shows how they built networks that communicated their ideas to writers, politicians, and corporate leaders. But the visioneers were not immune to failure--or to the lures of profit, celebrity, and hype.
O'Neill and Drexler faced difficulty funding their work and overcoming colleagues' skepticism, and saw their ideas co-opted and transformed by Timothy Leary, the scriptwriters of Star Trek, and many others. Ultimately, both men struggled to overcome stigma and ostracism as they tried to unshackle their visioneering from pejorative labels like "fringe" and "pseudoscience." The Visioneers provides a balanced look at the successes and pitfalls they encountered. The book exposes the dangers of promotion--oversimplification, misuse

Too harsh on my sensitive skin for daily use
This cleanser contains a variety of emollient and moisturizing oils, but it also contains potassium hydroxide, which indicates saponification, a process that turns oil into soap. While it has the appearance of being an oily liquid, it foams up nicely on wet skin to create a luxurious lather. It has a fresh, clean soapy scent. I can't quite place it, but it reminds me of something from a long time ago. It is a little powdery and perhaps more of a mature scent, but I really like how clean it smells. Unfortunately, I find it to be quite harsh on my skin, which is likely a result of the saponification of the oils. One day of use here and there will be fine for me, but daily use makes my skin quite dry. In fact, it makes my skin squeaky clean, which is not necessarily a good thing. It is a shame because the scent is so nice, and I love the oil-to-foamy-lather formulation. Another issue is that the dropper on the bottle arrived clogged. It is really puzzling because the cleanser seems to be completely liquid. I ran the dropper under very warm water for quite some time in an attempt to clear the clog, but I was unsuccessful. So, in using the product, I've just been pouring it into my hand. This could also be contributing to my issues with dryness, as no matter how hard I try to dispense a small amount, pouring the cleanser out of the bottle inevitably results in my using more than would have been dispensed from a dropper.

Collagen Eye Patches
These are the best under eye patches that I bought. I have tried others, but none provided the results that these did. I had visible results that lasted 12 hours. Puffiness reduced, smooth skin, rejuvenated look. I will be buying more when my supply is up.

Instant feeling of coolness but hoping I got what I paid for.
The box received isn’t the same as advertised but close. She picture. This is only second time trying a set from this box. They are soft and cooling. No unpleasant smell. It makes it fell like a spa day. And Hope to see results with use. At this point not breakout or reactions. That’s a good thing! Just not seeing results yet. Give it time, I know.

Very easy to use and gives good moisturizing as well
Honestly here’s how this goes . When I first wake up after a nights rest I have the worse eyebags . So I ordered these and gave them a try . After washing my face I applied these , I kept them on for 30 minutes . When I removed them I noticed a significant amount of puffiness gone , however there was still puffiness there . So I then applied plexaderm on top . The results with both these two products are a welcome outcome . Just on there own they do a pretty good job , however with the plexaderm I got an awesome outcome .
