From the celebrated British author and historian: a brilliant new book combining historical inquiry and storytelling lan to paint an unprecedentedly vivid portrait of Socrates and the Golden Age of classical Athens.We think the way we do because Socrates thought the way he did; in his unwavering commitment to truth and in the example of his own life, he set the standard for all subsequent Western philosophy. And yet, for twenty-five centuries, he has remained an enigma: a man who left no written legacy and about whom everything we know is hearsay. His life spanned "seventy of the busiest, most wonderful and tragic years in Athenian history." Athens in the fifth century B.C. was a city devastated by war, but, at the same time, transformed by the burgeoning process of democracy. Drawing on the latest sources--archaeological, topographical, and textual--Hughes re-creates the streets where Socrates walked, to place him there, and to illuminate for us the world as he experienced it.

Looks good, adjustability is super nice
This is attractive (for what it is) and is working well, I really like the adjustability - the only downside so far is that the USB ports are on the underside where I'm using it, so are basically unusable on a regular basis unless you want to leave a cable dangling from it, tho if you had it run up or to the right from the outlet, that wouldn't be a factor.

Its Quality
I absolutely love this! It’s a life changer for me as I’m always pulling the cord out from the wall in the attempt to stretch it. This now sits plug now sits perfectly between my bed and the wall. Excellent quality, easy to plug in and makes my life easier!

Nice length and looks good
Bought two different types/brands of outlet extenders, overall I like this better out of the two when it comes to looks and functionality. This one you plug it in then rotate the outlet to the spot you need. One adhesive pad holds it in place easily due to light weight and trim materials. You can still plug something else in the wall outlet, this only takes up one of the outlets. It would be great if they added usb plugs to this like the other one.

Great plug for hard to reach and short cords
Great outlet. I put it in hard to reach places and for cords that are short and can’t reach my plug. First saw it on CBS morning and decided to purchase it .
