NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A fascinating explanation for why white America has become fractured and divided in education and class, from the acclaimed author of Human Diversity.

"I'll be shocked if there's another book that so compellingly describes the most important trends in American society."--David Brooks, New York Times

In Coming Apart, Charles Murray explores the formation of American classes that are different in kind from anything we have ever known, focusing on whites as a way of driving home the fact that the trends he describes do not break along lines of race or ethnicity.

Drawing on five decades of statistics and research, Coming Apart demonstrates that a new upper class and a new lower class have diverged so far in core behaviors and values that they barely recognize their underlying American kinship--divergence that has nothing to do with income inequality and that has grown during good economic times and bad.

The top and bottom of white America increasingly live in different cultures, Murray argues, with the powerful upper class living in enclaves surrounded by their own kind, ignorant about life in mainstream America, and the lower class suffering from erosions of family and community life that strike at the heart of the pursuit of happiness. That divergence puts the success of the American project at risk.

The evidence in Coming Apart is about white America. Its message is about all of America.

Exfoliates nicely and lathers up well
Style: Bath And Body, Size: 3 Count (Pack of 1)
Exfoliates nicely without being too abrasive, also lathers up very well. It dries super quick after use and holds up well.

Highly recommended
Style: Bath And Body, Size: 3 Count (Pack of 1)
I was very surprised how much I love this product. It is not too abrasive but exfoliates so well leaving me nice and smooth. The length is not too long to be cumbersome but has lot of stretch to get the back and other body parts with ease. Highly recommend if you are looking for something extra to add to your routine!

The search is over for the perfect exfoliator!
Style: Bath And Body, Size: 3 Count (Pack of 1)
I purchased the Multi-pack that comes with 3 exfoliating cloths; apricot, teal, and gray. Can’t speak on the difference between the 3 levels of exfoliating — HOWEVER, these cloths are: • generously stretchy (they bounce back to original form after drying & the stretch allows for back exfoliation) • made of quality material (nice & thick) • scrunchable to be able to use like regular (natural & plasticity) bath loofahs In the past, I’ve had this type of exfoliating cloth (I’ve tried different brands, some had plastic handles, some made with loofah, and so on..) but they never held up that well. These are great! I’d repeat-buy these for sure.
