Virgin Forest: Meditations on History, Ecology, and CultureWith this remarkable book Eric Zencey changes the way we think about nature by changing how we think about history. "The ecological crisis is also a historical crisis," he writes. "If we are out of place in nature, we are also out of place in time, and the two kinds of exile are related." Zencey's way home takes us many places: to a starlit mountaintop, where a nineteenth century sect awaits the second coming; to the northern woods during hunting
With this remarkable book Eric Zencey changes the way we think about nature by changing how we think about history. "The ecological crisis is also a historical crisis," he writes. "If we are out of place in nature, we are also out of place in time, and the two kinds of exile are related."
Zencey's way home takes us many places: to a starlit mountaintop, where a nineteenth-century sect awaits the second coming; to the northern woods during hunting season; to the salt marshes of a Delaware childhood; to the softball games and abandoned mill ponds of his adopted Vermont. Always we are shown a world outside our preconceptions. In the essay "In Search of Virgin Forest" we see that virgin forest is not the pure escape from civilization that romantics make of it. Like the second-growth forest around it, virgin forest too is a human construct, one whose "different disturbance history" is not natural but is equally the product of human perception and appropriation. A nationally acclaimed novelist, Zencey has brought together autobiography and philosophy to produce a work at once accessible and intellectually rigorous. Perceptive, urgent, and lyrical, these essays are alive with warmth and wit and the occasional glint of melancholy. Virgin Forest is a passionate call for ecological health. It amply demonstrates (as the final essay has it) "Why History Is Sublime" if we suffer a postmodern lack of grounding, only a rooted-in-place ecological sensibility can supply our need, and historical understanding is its inescapable prerequisite.Binding Type: Paperback

Game changer for clearer skin
Size: 1 Fl Oz
I’ve been using this consistently and it has really helped improve my skin texture and keep pores clearer over time. The formula feels lightweight like a liquid toner and absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky residue. The quality feels very high and well formulated, especially with the salicylic acid working deep in the pores to help with congestion and breakouts. It also feels gentle when used correctly, and I haven’t experienced irritation.
In terms of value for money, a little goes a long way so the bottle lasts a long time even with regular use, which makes it worth the price. The fit into my routine is easy since it layers well with other skincare products, and the overall appearance of my skin looks smoother and more even with continued use.
Overall, great quality, effective ingredients, good value for money, and a staple in my skincare routine.

Noticeable improvement in skin tone and texture after consistent use. Love this product!
Size: 4 Fl Oz
I have been using this product for almost two months now. It is easy to apply, feels nice, I but was unsure about adding it to my long term skin routine. Now, after two months, the noticeable changes and clearing in my blemishes, sun spots and pores has convinced me it will be on the regular, long term routine. I use it twice a day and have no problems with dryness at all. And to be honest, I don't think it took that long for the changes to appear but they were subtle and I just started noticing my make up went on better and my skin had a "glow" it didn't have before. I noticed some reviews commenting on the price but I find it to be extremely reasonably priced for the size and even after two months, I have plenty left to last another two months.

Good, but cheap and messy dispersal of product
Size: 4 Fl Oz
This stuff works great. However, the packaging is not. It is messy and you lose product whenever you dispense it. For the price, I don’t want to waste a drop, but product ends up around the top and it makes this messy. Will I continue to purchase? Yes. But only because I have tried other BHAs and they seem a bit harsher on my very delicate skin. I am in the process of trying other brands that have better packaging and once I do, I will not replace. Already, I have found a budget vitamin C that has the same percentage of actives as PC- and a much, much better dispenser. PC sold out a while ago and the brand has just not been impressing me lately. Still, this BHA works well, is non irritating on my fair, delicate, over 50 skin. I just wish the bottle had a stopper that helped it dispense the product in a more controlled manner.

Happy with this moisturizer!
Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 3.38 Fl Oz (Non SPF)
I've been very happy with this moisturizer. It goes on smoothly, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated without feeling greasy. I have sensitive skin and haven't had any irritation. It works well under makeup and keeps my face moisturized throughout the day. A little goes a long way, and the bottle lasts a good amount of time. I would definitely purchase this again and recommend it to anyone looking for a gentle daily moisturizer. Fragrance free and a great value for money.

From dry to soft in days.
Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 3.38 Fl Oz (Non SPF)
I bought this moisturizer at a time when my skin truly needed help, with mature and sensitive skin, and I was dealing with intense dryness. My skin felt tight, dull, and uncomfortable, even after trying several products that didn’t provide lasting hydration.
I decided to try this cream and within the first few days, I noticed a real difference. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, doesn’t feel greasy, and most importantly, it doesn’t irritate my skin—instead, it soothes it. With continued use, my skin became softer, more supple, and visibly healthier, without that constant tight feeling.
I love that it’s fragrance-free, oil-free, and non-comedogenic, as it hasn’t caused any breakouts. It also contains ceramides and niacinamide, and the added SPF makes my routine much easier. After trying many products, I can honestly say this is the only one that truly worked for me. It’s now a daily essential.
