Connecting the Redux store with the React components

Throughout the book, we have been splitting the components into presentational and container components. There are a few things that we can do with Redux by following that pattern.

The presentational components will not be aware of Redux, and their main job is to present the UI. All markup and CSS classes will be defined in the presentational components.
