In the heart of Europe's current crisis, one of the continent's foremost statesmen issues a clarion call to radically remake the European Union in the mold of the United States' own federal government

Europe is caught in its greatest crisis since the Second World War. The catalog of ills seems endless: an economic crisis spread through most of Europe's Mediterranean tier that has crippled Greece and driven a wedge between northern and southern Europe; terrorist attacks in Paris, Cologne, Brussels, and Nice; growing aggression from Russia in Ukraine and the Baltic states; and refugees escaping war-torn neighbors. The European Union's inability to handle any of these disasters was a driving factor in Great Britain voting to leave, and others may soon follow. The result won't just be a continent in turmoil, but also a serious threat to American and British security-the Atlantic, let alone the Channel, simply isn't big enough to keep European troubles in Europe. For everyone's sake, Europe must survive.

The question is how. In Europe's Last Chance, Guy Verhofstadt-former prime minister of Belgium and current leader of the liberal faction in the European Parliament-provides the essential framework for understanding Europe today, laying bare the absurdity of a system in which each member state can veto legislation, opt in or out of the Euro, or close borders on a whim. But Verhofstadt does not just indict the European Union, he also offers a powerful vision for how the continent can change for the better. The key, argues Verhofstadt, is to reform the European Union along the lines of America's federal government: a United States of Europe strong enough to stand with the United States of America in making a better, safer world.

A visionary book from one of today's luminaries of European leadership, Europe's Last Chance is a clarion call to save the European Union, one of the world's greatest chances for peace and prosperity.

Very functional, well made, and looks great!
Color: Grey
My wife and I both work from home but for different companies. We have separate office spaces but they are without a door between them. There are times when we both are on either voice or video calls when we can hear each other on the calls. Other times, I have to walk past her office space and behind her desk to get to other areas of the house. We really needed something to help block some of the ambient sound and to obscure me from her video calls when I'm going past to let the dogs out. These foldable partitions are a great solution for us. The wheels make them easy to move into place when needed, and to store away when they are not. The wheels also lock, making them stable where we set them. The assembly was easy and quick, with only the simplest of instructions needed. Assembly tools were even included. These are large and a bit heavy for one person to move before assembly, so get the wheels on them for easier movement. I've researched how much these can cost new from the commercial office suppliers, and these are a good value.

Instant Privacy With a Professional Look
Color: Grey
I needed a flexible solution for a shared office space, and this foldable partition worked better than expected. Setup was straightforward, and the wheels make it easy to move around without scratching the floor. It noticeably reduces noise and distractions, which helped my focus more than I anticipated. The gray color and aluminum frame look clean and professional, not temporary or flimsy. It’s not fully soundproof, but it definitely softens background noise. Storage is easy since it folds up neatly when not in use. For home or office use, it’s practical and well designed.

Very good product
Size: Medium, Color: (001) Black / Black / Pitch Gray
I purchased these to wear inside lowcut slip on casual shoes, I don't particularly like to not wear socks in my shoes for hygienic reasons. Prior to purchasing these socks, all I could find were those made of very light beige hosiery type material , and my slip on shoes would slide around a bit. These are light weight and breathable athletic type material, with a very good gripper strip at the heel. One pair of my slip on casual shoes have a particularly lower cut in the toe area, but the shoe is black and I chose the black color and though I see a hint of the sock there, it matches and does not detract from the look of the casual solid black shoe

They stay out! No more sock wads!
Size: Medium, Color: (100) White / White / Mod Gray
Best no show socks ever made!!!!! I've been struggling for 2 years to find ones that actually stay on your foot, even other national brands, and I just became content wearing my sneakers without socks. They ALWAYS slid down into my show & I ended up walking on a wad of sock until I could fix it...or usually just took them off after a couple of tries. Enter Under Armor!!! They a mid weight, but not very thick & still breathable. They work too by actually staying on your foot! Not once have they slid down into my show!! Very comfortable but they could be a little more affordable.
