Tom Paine: A Political Life"More than any other public figure of the eighteenth century, Tom Paine strikes our times like a trumpet blast from a distant world." So begins John Keane's magnificent and award winning (the Fraunces Tavern Book Award) biography of one of democracy's greatest champions.

"More than any other public figure of the eighteenth century, Tom Paine strikes our times like a trumpet blast from a distant world." So begins John Keane's magnificent and award-winning (the Fraunces Tavern Book Award) biography of one of democracy's greatest champions. Among friends and enemies alike, Paine earned a reputation as a notorious pamphleteer, one of the greatest political figures of his day, and the author of three best-selling books, Common Sense, The Rights of Man, and The Age of Reason.

Setting his compelling narrative against a vivid social backdrop of prerevolutionary America and the French Revolution, John Keane melds together the public and the shadowy private sides of Paine's life in a remarkable piece of scholarship. This is the definitive biography of a man whose life and work profoundly shaped the modern age.

Love these.
Number of Items: 3, Color: White (3-pairs), Size: Medium
I have them in black and white. I use them everyday in all shoes. These are very versatile and a great quality material. They take a looong time to wear and they stay in place. Very washable and good material. They are not too thick and they do not shrink. I do air dry mine. They do not hold smells even in the summer heat.

Great feel, amazing tech, and perfect fit
Size: Large, Color: Black/Gray (6 Pairs)
I've been purchasing the white w/grey toe socks for most of my adult life. Never really understood why I'd want anything else. Saw these as an Amazon suggestion one day and figured I'd give them a shot. Oh my freaking feet have never been happier!!! I imagine that the fabrics used by UA to wick away sweat and odor are what makes these socks so comfortable, but I would be lying if I said I understood why they were so amazing. They slip on effortlessly and hug your foot throughout the day. Unlike the socks I used to purchase, these do not lose their shape after a full day of wear and exercise. They also have ample thickness to protect my feet while I'm running from any rubbing or hot spots from my shoes. I imagine this has a lot to do with the fact that they maintain their shape and do not move/slip around while wearing. I was a bit hesitant to purchase black running socks at first, but they hide right below my shoe line and are even less noticeable than my old white w/grey toe socks I used to purchase. I am not certain what "charged cotton" means, but if it means amazing feel, great features (wick away sweat; fight odor), and all for a reasonable price. I'm in. Overall, if you're looking for a nice pair of socks to wear throughout the day or while doing your workout, you would be remiss in not giving these UA socks a shot.
