In this "meticulously researched" account (New York Times Book Review), a Pulitzer Prize-winning author examines the dangers of a failing public health system unequipped to handle large-scale global risks like a coronavirus pandemic.
The New York Times bestselling author of The Coming Plague, Laurie Garrett takes on perhaps the most crucial global issue of our time in this eye-opening book. She asks: is our collective health in a state of decline? If so, how dire is this crisis and has the public health system itself contributed to it? Using riveting detail and finely-honed storytelling, exploring outbreaks around the world, Garrett exposes the underbelly of the world's globalization to find out if it can still be assumed that government can and will protect the people's health, or if that trust has been irrevocably broken.
"A frightening vision of the future and a deeply unsettling one . . . a sober, scary book that not only limns the dangers posed by emerging diseases but also raises serious questions about two centuries' worth of Enlightenment beliefs in science and technology and progress." -- Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

Solid Weight Set
Style: 32lb Set, Style: 32lb Set
Pretty solid set of weights. Love that it comes with a little rack. The rack is plastic but for the weights I got (3, 5, 8 lbs) it feels sturdy enough. The texture and quality feel exactly like the weights that the high end Pilates studio I go on occasion uses. Seems durable and easy to keep clean. Would definitely recommend.

Great for home use!
Style: 32lb Set
Pros: These are great for at home workouts. They have a great grip and comfortable to hold. Good quality and are comparable to to other weights I have used like this. Cons: They arrived with one of the 3 pound weights missing and rack damaged. Although this could have happened during shipping. Company quickly replaced them however!

Perfect, Simple, & Economical
Style: 32lb Set, Style: 32lb Set
I just received my order and am so excited to start working out. The weights are so cute and not too bulky. You have to build the stand yourself, it does come with screws so you’ll need a small screwdriver but it was very simple to do. Perfect to hide in between my couch & wall in my small apartment. Not bad for 45 bucks, at least that’s what I paid with my Prime shipping and tax.
