The Quartet: Orchestrating the Second American Revolution, 1783-1789In The Quartet, Pulitzer Prize winning historian Joseph Ellis tells the unexpected story of America's second great founding and of the men most responsible Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, John Jay, and James Madison: why the thirteen colonies, having just fought off the imposition of a distant centralized governing power, would decide to subordinate themselves anew.

In The Quartet, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Joseph Ellis tells the unexpected story of America's second great founding and of the men most responsible--Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, John Jay, and James Madison: why the thirteen colonies, having just fought off the imposition of a distant centralized governing power, would decide to subordinate themselves anew. These men, with the help of Robert Morris and Gouverneur Morris, shaped the contours of American history by diagnosing the systemic dysfunctions created by the Articles of Confederation, manipulating the political process to force the calling of the Constitutional Convention, conspiring to set the agenda in Philadelphia, orchestrating the debate in the state ratifying conventions, and, finally, drafting the Bill of Rights to assure state compliance with the constitutional settlement, created the new republic. Ellis gives us a dramatic portrait of one of the most crucial and misconstrued periods in American history: the years between the end of the Revolution and the formation of the federal government.

The Quartet
unmasks a myth, and in its place presents an even more compelling truth--one that lies at the heart of understanding the creation of the United States of America.

PLUSH! Fabulous yoga mat!
Color: Black, Style: 1/2 Inch
SO comfortable! It feels like a soft memory foam padding. I use it for several exercise classes and it is great for all of my needs! I love the strap it comes with to keep it rolled up in between classes and the ability to carry it anywhere.

very comfortable and thicker than a regular yoga mat
Color: Pink, Style: 1/2 Inch
This yoga mat is very comfortable and thicker than a regular yoga mat. The quality is excellent, and it doesn't have that strong rubber smell that many mats have. I'm very happy with it!
