In a brilliant collaboration between writer and subject, Witold Rybczynski, the bestselling author of Now I Sit Me Down, illuminates Frederick Law Olmsted's role as a major cultural figure at the epicenter of nineteenth-century American history. We know Olmsted through the physical legacy of his stunning landscapes--among them, New York's Central Park, California's Stanford University campus, and Boston's Back Bay Fens. But Olmsted's contemporaries knew a man of even more extraordinarily diverse talents. Born in 1822, he traveled to China on a merchant ship at the age of twenty-one. He cofounded The Nation magazine and was an early voice against slavery. He managed California's largest gold mine and, during the Civil War, served as the executive secretary to the United States Sanitary Commission, the precursor of the Red Cross. Rybczynski's passion for his subject and his understanding of Olmsted's immense complexity and accomplishments make his book a triumphant work. In A Clearing in the Distance, the story of a great nineteenth-century American becomes an intellectual adventure.Binding Type: Paperback

Pretty good
Flavor Name: Fruit Punch, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)
I like these because they're reduced sugar . You still get your electrolytes and they have a good mixed fruit flavor. I been buying these alot lately I like the rain berry most. It's a good deal here on Amazon and it hydrates better than water alone . They have a few flavors to choose from in this line so there's def variety.

Love the Fruit Punch Flavor!
Flavor Name: Fruit Punch, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
This fruit punch flavor diminished the overly sweet stevia taste. In addition to hydrating after activity, I use it as a low calorie sweet treat. I don't use artificial sweeteners. I drink still and sparkling water but I enjoy a sweet drink too.

Not to shabby
Flavor Name: Fruit Punch, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
It’s OK the taste is better than G2 but worse than regular Gatorade. I wish they had more flavor variety, but I like that the sugar content is lower and you’re still getting all of the beneficial ingredients like the electrolytes. They are packaged well in nice bottles that don’t leak but are still easy to open overall I like them just wish they could find a way to make the flavor a little more potent so it doesn’t taste like regular Gatorade that’s been watered down.

Great taste without the sugar overload
Flavor Name: Fruit Punch, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)
picked up a pack of Gatorade’s lower sugar drinks and honestly wasn’t expecting much, but they surprised me. The flavor is still really good—doesn’t taste watered down like some “light” drinks do—and it’s not overly sweet, which I actually prefer.
You still get that classic Gatorade taste and the electrolytes, just without all the sugar overload. It’s a solid option if you’re trying to cut back but still want something refreshing after work, workouts, or being outside.
Overall, it hits a nice balance between taste and being a little healthier. Definitely something I’ll keep buying. Wish they had more flavors available
