"If information highways are the wave of the future then I will build information country roads on which the traveller can reach the truth faster by going slower. . . ." On these same country roads, far from the intrusions of modern technology, the Amish, Quakers, and other "plain folk" live their unencumbered lives, close to the land, in peaceful, smoothly-run communities. The thought-provoking, often challenging essays in The Plain Reader are written by men and women who rarely speak outside the borders of their local townships, and provide us with unique perspectives on life stripped down to necessity. Originally published in Plain Magazine, these pieces are sure to inspire reflection. Reading about a garden cooperative in Connecticut, the raising of a home with only plaster and straw in hand, a fascinating trip to New York City through Amish eyes, compels each of us wonder: Can I too survive without television or that high-tech appliance cluttering my kitchen counter? Am I just a cog in the wheel of the global economy? Is isolation from one another and from the earth the simple destiny of humankind? Each rich, personal essay in this provocative collection offers solace, wisdom, joy, and quiet space for contemplation.Binding Type: Paperback

Affordable Upgrade from Cheap Sunglasses
These sunglasses are stylish, comfortable, and well-made. They came with a really nice case and a soft bag that doubles as a cleaning cloth, which is super handy.
I love the shape and style of the frames — they’re flattering without being over the top. The lens color is dark enough to block the sun but not so dark that it makes everything hard to see. The overall quality feels solid, especially compared to the cheaper sunglasses

Cute and was exactly as expected
It is exactly as shown. I have a very small head and these did not slip down my nose. The lens is large as it says in the description but I like the coverage from the sun. Great price!

Nice!!
These lenses are very nice and protect you well from the sun. They are dark enough to be able to use when the sun is very strong in the afternoon. It comes with its mandarin case, it has the logo outside and its sleeve also with its cleaning wipe. I always loved it, I always drive them in the car.
