One of the Best Books of the Year
The New York Times - San Francisco Chronicle - The Economist - Kirkus Reviews

In the twenty-first century, airplane flight-- once a remarkable feat of human ingenuity--has been relegated to the realm of the mundane. In this mesmerizing reflection on flying, Mark Vanhoenacker, a 747 pilot who left academia and a career in the business world to pursue his childhood dream of flying, helps us to reimagine what we--as pilots and as passengers--are actually doing when we enter the world between departure and discovery. In a seamless fusion of history, politics, geography, meteorology, ecology, family, and physics, Vanhoenacker vaults across geographical and cultural boundaries; above mountains, oceans, and deserts; through snow, wind, and rain, renewing a simultaneously humbling and almost superhuman activity and reawakening our capacity to be amazed.

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.
