An adventurous ride through the most blisteringly hot regions of science, history, and culture. Melting glaciers, warming oceans, droughts-it's clear that today's world is getting hotter. But while we know the agony of a sunburn or the comfort of our winter heaters, do we really understand heat? A bestselling scientist and nature writer who goes to any extreme to uncover the answers, Bill Streever sets off to find out what heat really means. Let him be your guide and you'll firewalk across hot coals and sweat it out in Death Valley, experience intense fever and fire, learn about the invention of matches and the chemistry of cooking, drink crude oil, and explore thermonuclear weapons and the hottest moment of all time-the big bang. Written in Streever's signature spare and refreshing prose, Heat is an adventurous personal narrative that leaves readers with a new vision of an everyday experience-how heat works, its history, and its relationship to daily life.Binding Type: Paperback

Great paper towel holder
Color: Silver
It was simple to put together. It holds my biggest paper towel roll with no issues. No complaints. Glad I purchased it.

would be five stars, but it makes a weird clicking sound as you pull a sheet to dispense
Color: Silver
After researching tons of these, and actually owning some of them in the past, I landed on this brand. i’m hoping it stands the test of time.
In times past, the arm broke from the other heavy duty paper towel holders I bought (I think I’m on my fourth one right now. It’s pretty sad.).
This one seems pretty stable. I like the suction cups on the bottom, although sometimes it makes it difficult to move and clean around it because it really has a good grab on my granite countertop.
The one thing that I’m not a fan of is a clicky kind of sound when you pull a sheet to tear off. It’s a little bit annoying and kinda loud. If there were superior paper towel holders without the clicking sound I most definitely would purchase, but the other ones seem to be junk. Crossing fingers this one works. I’ll just have to ignore that clicking sound. It’s just how that propeller-like mechanism works that the paper towel itself slides onto.

I love it
Color: White
It has taken a few weeks to get use to- learning how to pull it and when so the paper towels come off right. The suction cups are amazing. If you need to release it- I just slide a butter know gently und them and it un suctions. Hopefully it lasts a long time.
