One of USA Today's "100 Books to Read While Stuck at Home During the Coronavirus Crisis"

A dazzling gift, the unforgettable, unknown history of colors and the vivid stories behind them in a beautiful multi-colored volume.

"Beautifully written . . . Full of anecdotes and fascinating research, this elegant compendium has all the answers." --NPR, Best Books of 2017

The Secret Lives of Color tells the unusual stories of seventy-five fascinating shades, dyes, and hues. From blonde to ginger, the brown that changed the way battles were fought to the white that protected against the plague, Picasso's blue period to the charcoal on the cave walls at Lascaux, acid yellow to kelly green, and from scarlet women to imperial purple, these surprising stories run like a bright thread throughout history.

In this book, Kassia St. Clair has turned her lifelong obsession with colors and where they come from (whether Van Gogh's chrome yellow sunflowers or punk's fluorescent pink) into a unique study of human civilization. Across fashion and politics, art and war, the secret lives of color tell the vivid story of our culture.

"This passionate and majestic compedium will leave you bathed in the gorgeous optics of light." --Elle

Not made in USA
Pattern Name: Strip, Size: 10 Packs (Box), Pattern Name: Strip, Size: 10 Packs (Box)
The product is good but it is not made in the USA. It says Taiwan! That makes me angry because I don’t trust foreign countries for pet foods. It is well known there has been products from another country that actually poisoned US pets. I ordered the box of 10 and have been giving it to my two small dogs. I will be monitoring closely . They should not advertise made in USA when it says made in Taiwan!

So far these vitamins are good
I bought these vitamins because I noticed my hair was starting to fall out/get thinner. So far I think they might be helping.
