"A startling argument . . . provocative . . . absorbing." --The Boston Globe "Ambitious . . . arresting . . . celebrates the importance of hands to our lives today as well as to the history of our species."--The New York Times Book Review The human hand is a miracle of biomechanics, one of the most remarkable adaptations in the history of evolution. The hands of a concert pianist can elicit glorious sound and stir emotion; those of a surgeon can perform the most delicate operations; those of a rock climber allow him to scale a vertical mountain wall. Neurologist Frank R. Wilson makes the striking claim that it is because of the unique structure of the hand and its evolution in cooperation with the brain that Homo sapiens became the most intelligent, preeminent animal on the earth.
In this fascinating book, Wilson moves from a discussion of the hand's evolution--and how its intimate communication with the brain affects such areas as neurology, psychology, and linguistics--to provocative new ideas about human creativity and how best to nurture it. Like Oliver Sacks and Stephen Jay Gould, Wilson handles a daunting range of scientific knowledge with a surprising deftness and a profound curiosity about human possibility. Provocative, illuminating, and delightful to read, The Hand encourages us to think in new ways about one of our most taken-for-granted assets. "A mark of the book's excellence is that] it makes the reader aware of the wonder in trivial, everyday acts, and reveals the complexity behind the simplest manipulation." --The Washington Post

Very good, helps with pcos acne and dark spots
I have pcos, so my acne and dark marks from acne can get pretty severe, in one use there was a visible change. It doesn't have an intense fragrance. It doesn't make my skin feel heavy, sticky, or greasy. My skin feels healthier and holds moisture better. It has a good amount of product in each container. I'd say its definitely got a good amount of value for the money.

Good Molecule
I tried their one product once and it was very good, so when I saw the set range - I definitely had to get it. A great set introduction to this line of brand. It’s light, it works and the price bracket is friendly on your wallet.

Hydrated & Bright: My Good Molecules Review
I recently overhauled my daily skincare routine with a full lineup from Good Molecules, and the results have been nothing short of wonderful. I've been consistently using their cleanser, toner, hyaluronic acid, Wakeup Eye Gel, and daily moisturizer, and my face has completely transformed. Overall, my skin feels incredibly soft, looks noticeably brighter, and stays perfectly moisturized all day long.

Good combo for the price
I have eczema which causes me to have very dry skin. I have been using this for 3 weeks and only had 1 breakout which I don’t think correlated. I did go in with extra moisturizer on top of the moisturizer that is included.

Great product
Love this product! I've always struggled with acne as a teen and even now that I'm 32. I've tried other products like the more expensive stuff but i see no results and with this I've had success and will continue to use!
