Amsterdam: A History of the World's Most Liberal CityAn endlessly entertaining portrait of the city of Amsterdam and the ideas that make it unique, by the author of the acclaimed Island at the Center of the World Tourists know Amsterdam as a picturesque city of low slung brick houses lining tidy canals; student travelers know it for its legal brothels and hash bars; art lovers know it for Rembrandt's glorious portraits.

An endlessly entertaining portrait of the city of Amsterdam and the ideas that make it unique, by the author of the acclaimed Island at the Center of the World Tourists know Amsterdam as a picturesque city of low-slung brick houses lining tidy canals; student travelers know it for its legal brothels and hash bars; art lovers know it for Rembrandt's glorious portraits. But the deeper history of Amsterdam, what makes it one of the most fascinating places on earth, is bound up in its unique geography-the constant battle of its citizens to keep the sea at bay and the democratic philosophy that this enduring struggle fostered. Amsterdam is the font of liberalism, in both its senses. Tolerance for free thinking and free love make it a place where, in the words of one of its mayors, "craziness is a value." But the city also fostered the deeper meaning of liberalism, one that profoundly influenced America: political and economic freedom. Amsterdam was home not only to religious dissidents and radical thinkers but to the world's first great global corporation. In this effortlessly erudite account, Russell Shorto traces the idiosyncratic evolution of Amsterdam, showing how such disparate elements as herring anatomy, naked Anabaptists parading through the streets, and an intimate gathering in a sixteenth-century wine-tasting room had a profound effect on Dutch-and world-history. Weaving in his own experiences of his adopted home, Shorto provides an ever-surprising, intellectually engaging story of Amsterdam.Binding Type: Paperback

Easy to install.
Size: H307 (12")
Great replacement rear wiper blade for my 2018 Toyota Highlander. After watching a YouTube video on installing this wiper blade on my vehicle, anyone can do it. Thank you You Tube!

Quality Windshield Wipers
Size: 17", Style: Latitude Repellency
These wipers are a solid upgrade over standard blades. Installation is quick and straightforward, and they fit securely once attached. On the first use, you can immediately notice the difference the wipe is smooth and consistent with very little streaking.
The Rain-X water-repellent feature actually works, helping water bead up and roll off the windshield for better visibility during heavier rain. They also run fairly quiet compared to cheaper blades, which is a nice bonus.

Does what it says
Size: 22" and 22", Style: Latitude Repellency
These are my favorite wiper blades. They install easily on my Dodge Challenger and work well as wipers. But I like the little bit extra of RainX repellency to help water bead off my window in between wiper swipes.

Not streaky!
Size: 26" and 17", Style: Latitude Repellency
These work really well! They are not streaky, which was the biggest thing I was hoping for! They also aren’t too noisy, thankfully! They were easy to install too! I have only used them for a couple of months and so far they have continued working well!

Good wipers
Size: 22", Style: Latitude Repellency
Bought these wiper blades because my wiper blades were old. The new blades lay down a good level of water repellent on the windshield. I actually drove home this morning in a rainstorm and purposely did not turn on my wipers once, and the windshield stayed nicely beaded and cleared, a month after I put the new wipers on my truck. I recently bought my s/o a set for her vehicle. They’re expensive, but seem to be worth it. Very quiet, no chattering, 30 seconds to install on my F150.
