A History of the Future is the third thrilling novel in Kunstler's "World Made By Hand" series, an exploration of family and morality as played out in the small town of Union Grove.

Following the catastrophes of the twenty-first century--the pandemics, the environmental disaster, the end of oil, the ensuing chaos--people are doing whatever they can to get by and pursuing a simpler and sometimes happier existence. In little Union Grove in upstate New York, the townspeople are preparing for Christmas. Without the consumerist shopping frenzy that dogged the holidays of the previous age, the season has become a time to focus on family and loved ones. It is a stormy Christmas Eve when Robert Earle's son Daniel arrives back from his two years of sojourning throughout what is left of the United States. He collapses from exhaustion and illness, but as he recovers tells the story of the break-up of the nation into three uneasy independent regions and his journey into the dark heart of the New Foxfire Republic centered in Tennesee and led by the female evangelical despot, Loving Morrow. In the background, Union Grove has been shocked by the Christmas Eve double murder by a young mother, in the throes of illness, of her husband and infant son. Town magistrate Stephen Bullock is in a hanging mood.

A History of the Future is attention-grabbing and provocative, but also lyrical, tender, and comic--a vision of a future of America that is becoming more and more convincing and perhaps even desirable with each passing day.

Space-Saving, Stylish, and Surprisingly Strong Closet Upgrade
Color: Black, Size: Pack of 100
I’ve been using these Amazon Basics slim velvet hangers, and they completely changed how organized my closet feels. The biggest difference is how much space they save. Because they’re so thin compared to regular plastic hangers, I was able to fit a lot more clothes in the same closet without it feeling crowded. The velvet coating is also a great feature. Clothes actually stay in place and don’t slip off, even lighter fabrics like tank tops or blouses. That alone makes getting dressed in the morning easier because I’m not constantly picking things up off the floor. They feel sturdy too. Even though they are slim, they hold heavier items like jackets and sweaters without bending or breaking. The shape helps keep clothes looking neat and prevents those annoying shoulder bumps that some hangers cause. I also like the clean black and silver look, it gives the closet a more uniform and organized appearance, which makes everything feel more put together. Overall, these hangers are a simple but very effective upgrade for any closet. They save space, keep clothes in place, and make everything look more organized without much effort.

Looks more organized than bulky plastic hangers and multiple colors
Color: Black/Rose Gold, Size: Pack of 100
Love these hangers! The cloth helps from shirts slipping off and holds them in place! Stylish and thin so doesn’t take up all space on rack either! I’ve changed all our hangers over to these! They are very durable and there’s no assembly obviously. I’ve had one break, but that was with a pair of jeans hanging on it and I yanked the jeans instead of pulling the hanger off and taking the jeans off the hanger so I would say they’re pretty durable. There’s a lot of overweight people here and so the jeans and certain items are pretty heavy. I’m able to hang my husband uniforms in sets on them pants and then the shirt over top. Love these hangers. However, customer service is unreachable and when order you may be waiting for months to receive them!

Overall, they’re a great way to display memories and decorate any space
Color: Black, Size: 11x17
Love these frames, They are really good quality and feel sturdy, not cheap at all. They were very easy to set up and insert my pictures, which I really appreciate. The size is perfect for posters or photos, and they make everything look much more professional and elegant on the wall. I also like how they fit well with any home decor style
