A groundbreaking history of early America that shows how Boston built and sustained an independent city-state in New England before being folded into the United States
In the vaunted annals of America's founding, Boston has long been held up as an exemplary "city upon a hill" and the "cradle of liberty" for an independent United States. Wresting this revered metropolis from these misleading, tired clich s, The City-State of Boston highlights Boston's overlooked past as an autonomous city-state, and in doing so, offers a pathbreaking and brilliant new history of early America. Following Boston's development over three centuries, Mark Peterson discusses how this self-governing Atlantic trading center began as a refuge from Britain's Stuart monarchs and how--through its bargain with the slave trade and ratification of the Constitution--it would tragically lose integrity and autonomy as it became incorporated into the greater United States. The City-State of Boston peels away layers of myth to offer a startlingly fresh understanding of this iconic urban center.Binding Type: Paperback

Cat playground
Color: Black, Size: 35 Inch, Style: 3 Pack, Color: Black, Size: 35 Inch, Style: 3 Pack
Easy to install. Sturdy enough for 2 large rambunctious kitties to play on and look very nice. I was working on a vertical play space for the cats and since these come in many sizes it worked great. I did add grip tape to some.

Not the best quality
Color: Rustic Brown, Size: 35 Inch, Style: 2 Pack, Color: Rustic Brown, Size: 35 Inch, Style: 2 Pack
The shelving unit was not as I had expected. It arrived damaged. The damage is on the under side though. They are hollow and not hardwood as I had expected. Save your money if you want something of good quality. These are like 3 pieces of pressed wood glued together. They are space saving and look great in my space. The mounting hardware it comes with was plenty enough to hang these but make sure you hang them in the studs if at all possible. Assembly was simple. It does come with a micro level. Which a kid or pet could accidentally swallow. It’s like pill capsule sized so just be careful when opening the package.

Loving these
Color: Wooden Black
Two (Med and Large) will safely hold a larger electric power strip. The Small is on my desk holding odd items and bits that should be stored upright. They're so simple to use too! I love the colored Velcro strips that come with them and the plastic cable guides. I honestly didn't know they were included so that was a BONUS! It definitely helped sort my cables and power cords for my work station as well as my crafting station. Keeping them safely out of the way means my robot vacuum can run without any complications. The wood tops actually blend with the floors making them less visible. If I needed more I would certainly get more! I may buy more for gifting.

No More Messy Looking Cords Everywhere
Color: Wooden Black
These are such a great find! My office, bedroom and living room look so much cleaner now! The sizes were just right to meet our needs. The colors matched our decor and the cords no longer stick out like a sore thumb. It was easy to get the power strip and the cords organized inside the boxes and using these is just the perfect solution to a messy problem. Highly recommended!

Hides the cords well
Color: Wooden Black
Very subtle and hides the cords and surge protector well. They look appealing and blend in with other items well allowing them to not stand out. I wish the lid snapped on, though. Depending on the cords, it sometimes sticks up. But is an easy fix.
