NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY ESQUIRE AND BOOKPAGE Figuring explores the complexities of love and the human search for truth and meaning through the interconnected lives of several historical figures across four centuries--beginning with the astronomer Johannes Kepler, who discovered the laws of planetary motion, and ending with the marine biologist and author Rachel Carson, who catalyzed the environmental movement. Stretching between these figures is a cast of artists, writers, and scientists--mostly women, mostly queer--whose public contribution have risen out of their unclassifiable and often heartbreaking private relationships to change the way we understand, experience, and appreciate the universe. Among them are the astronomer Maria Mitchell, who paved the way for women in science; the sculptor Harriet Hosmer, who did the same in art; the journalist and literary critic Margaret Fuller, who sparked the feminist movement; and the poet Emily Dickinson. Emanating from these lives are larger questions about the measure of a good life and what it means to leave a lasting mark of betterment on an imperfect world: Are achievement and acclaim enough for happiness? Is genius? Is love? Weaving through the narrative is a set of peripheral figures--Ralph Waldo Emerson, Charles Darwin, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Herman Melville, Frederick Douglass, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Walt Whitman--and a tapestry of themes spanning music, feminism, the history of science, the rise and decline of religion, and how the intersection of astronomy, poetry, and Transcendentalist philosophy fomented the environmental movement.Binding Type: Paperback

It’s ridiculous…
Size: King (Pack of 2), Style: Medium, Configuration: Hometextile
When I got these pillows I was a little disappointed that they appeared to be a little lumpy. I fluffed and let them rest for a couple of days to see if they’d poof up. Finally figured this was as good as they were going to get.
First night sleeping with them…my life has changed! I typically like a lot of pillows. I’m usually a restless sleeper. I fell asleep quickly and slept through the night for the first time since I can remember. No aches and pains as usual. It’s ridiculous that a couple of pillows could have made such a difference in my quality of sleep. Who knew?!
I’ll buy these for every bed in the house.

Great quality

LOVE this pillow. Soft and supportive for sitting against. Too big for sleeping but great for lounging.

Do not buy, I recommend looking for something else
Size: King (Pack of 2), Style: Medium, Configuration: Hometextile
I don't like the quality of those pillows. They don't have any support, super flat, it's like just using the pillow sheet without the pillow. I honestly don't get why this could even be a product. Amazon Basics brand is veryh nice but this one was a very bad one. I usually go with anything but this was worst than cheap airbnb pillows.

Great
Size: King (Pack of 2), Style: Medium, Configuration: Hometextile
The medium density support is exactly as advertised and provides more support and firmness. The pillow is taller because of the density so maybe not great for stomach sleepers but works well for back and side sleeping. I bought this because I tried the same pillow at my sister’s house and woke up without neck pain for the first time in forever. Honestly better than my $100 pillow.

These are firm pillows not medium as described.
Size: King (Pack of 2), Style: Medium, Configuration: Hometextile
These pillows are much too firm to be medium density as described. They are too stuffed full of filling. They barely give when my head is on them, so my neck ends up twisted. And they are ridiculously heavy. The filling is also uneven. I wish there was a zero stars option. Definitely returning them.
