." . . infuses into the reader the conviction that science is exciting and can be understood by everyone." --American Scientist
This new edition of the critically acclaimed Scientific Companion offers a comprehensive introduction to the physical sciences: physics, astronomy, chemistry, geology, meteorology, biology, atmospheric science, and oceanography. Emiliani traces the evolution of the universe from the Big Bang to the present, explaining the nature of the galaxy, the Earth, inorganic and organic matter, and the development of scientific thought.
More than 50 new illustrations appear throughout--from stunning aerial shots of Earth's topography to striking close-ups of the moon provided by NASA. Hundreds of additional photos, charts, maps, and diagrams, plus 35 tables of the most essential facts, figures, and formulas--from Planck's constant to the laws of thermodynamics, from quantum energy levels to Avogadro's number--make The Scientific Companion an ideal desktop reference. Written for the layperson, sufficiently detailed for students, it is the only book of its kind to bridge the gap between works of popular science and college textbooks.

Affordable shoes that actually hold up
Size: 8, Color: White
I bought these for my son to wear to a quinceañera since he needed plain white shoes and I didn’t want to spend much for a one-time event. They ended up being his favorite pair. He’s worn them to school several times a week for the past 7 months, and they’ve held up really well. There’s some normal wear, but they still look good and he says they’re comfortable. I’m pleasantly surprised by the quality for the price and will likely buy another pair soon.

Very nice look
Size: 13 Wide, Color: Brown
Very nice look, sole is comfortable, inside upper leather is a bit stiff. Not enough to hurt but not soft. I would purchase another color.

Nice shoes but no half sizes.
Size: 11, Color: Brown
I had to return the shoes because they do not have half sizes. Other shoes i always wear an 11. That was tight with these and 12 would be to big.
