A contemporary study of the early American nation and its evolving democracy, from a French aristocrat and sociologist

In 1831 Alexis de Tocqueville, a young French aristocrat and ambitious civil servant, set out from post-revolutionary France on a journey across America that would take him 9 months and cover 7,000 miles. The result was Democracy in America, a subtle and prescient analysis of the life and institutions of 19th-century America. Tocqueville looked to the flourishing deomcratic system in America as a possible model for post-revolutionary France, believing that the egalitarian ideals it enshrined reflected the spirit of the age and even divine will. His study of the strengths and weaknesses of an evolving democratic society has been quoted by every American president since Eisenhower, and remains a key point of reference for any discussion of the American nation or the democratic system.

This new edition is the only one that contains all Tocqueville's writings on America, including the rarely-translated Two Weeks in the Wilderness, an account of Tocqueville's travels in Michigan among the Iroquois, and Excursion to Lake Oneida.

very poor quality
Size: 14, Color: Black
they are a peice of garbage, within about a month since i started wearing them the outer material started pealing off within two months the upper separated from the soles so i had to go to a shoemaker to sew them back together, within some few months the insoles completely wore out rendering the shoes unwearable, now mind you that i do not abuse shoes but use them in a normal office oriented enviorment, i will for sure not be buying these shoes again

Great wallet
Size: One Size, Color: Brown River Print
Nice quality wallet that holds all of my cards. It is thicker than I would have liked, but it is a good wallet. I like that it has two pockets for bills which is nice because I use other currencies. The card sleeves have three slots each. One sleeve on each half of the bifold and a middle one that flaps back and forth to show both sides. One side of the flap has the three card slots and the other side has the clear plastic for identification. There are also a sleeve under each of the three card slots. The wallet has a nice texture and a nice color. It feels pretty well-made and it seems like it would last a long time. It fits like any other bifold wallet.

Excelent quality
Size: One Size, Color: Black Passcase
I bought this Calvin Klein men’s wallet for my husband, and it exceeded our expectations. The leather feels premium and durable, with a sleek, minimalist design that matches any style. It’s compact enough to fit comfortably in his pocket, yet spacious enough for all his cards and cash. The stitching and logo details give it a touch of elegance without being flashy. After several weeks of use, it still looks brand new. Definitely worth the price — classic Calvin Klein quality and sophistication!
