Boasting almost one hundred articles and book excerpts, The Oxford Book of Modern Science Writing is a breathtaking celebration of the finest writing by scientists--the best such collection in print--packed with scintillating essays on everything from "The Discovery of Lucy" to "The Terror and Vastness of the Universe." Edited by best-selling author and renowned scientist Richard Dawkins, this sterling collection brings together exhilarating pieces by a who's who of scientists and science writers, including Stephen Pinker, Stephen Jay Gould, Martin Gardner, Albert Einstein, Julian Huxley, and many dozens more. Readers will find excerpts from bestsellers such as Douglas R. Hofstadter's Godel, Escher, Bach, Francis Crick's Life Itself, Loren Eiseley's The Immense Journey, Daniel Dennett's Darwin's Dangerous Idea, and Rachel Carson's The Sea Around Us. There are classic essays ranging from J.B.S. Haldane's "On Being the Right Size" and Garrett Hardin's "The Tragedy of the Commons" to Alan Turing's "Computing Machinery and Intelligence" and Albert Einstein's famed New York Times article on "Relativity." And readers will also discover lesser-known but engaging pieces such as Lewis Thomas's "Seven Wonders of Science," J. Robert Oppenheimer on "War and Physicists," and Freeman Dyson's memoir of studying under Hans Bethe. A must-read volume for all science buffs, The Oxford Book of Modern Science Writing is a rich and vibrant anthology that captures the poetry and excitement of scientific thought and discovery.Binding Type: Paperback

Covers all my passes
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
I've used several brands of eye wipes and I think I'll stop looking any further after using these.
The wipes are super moist and the largest I've come by.
They are soft thick wipes which I appreciate especially after say cutting grass or any outdoor activities that might attract pollen or dust to my lids. I've used some that are very thin and felt harsh.
My skin feels clean yet moisturized after using them.
I'm totally happy that my lids are not burning and itchy anymore.

Relief for your eyes if work on the computer
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
I have been using these wipes for a long time and have been great for my sensitive eyes. Even though I use blue light glasses and toned my monitors for work my eyes would sting like lemons were put on it. After I use these wipes it cools down my eyes and makes it better again. I really recommend these wipes for anyone that has this issue too because it was hard to drive my car when my eyes acted up but after I use the wipes the drive home from the office is like nothing occurred. These wipes dont sting when you use them like the walgreens version does. It honestly feels like a relief when you use them is the best I can describe it. I keep these in my purse, work bag and office drawer since these are individual wipes.

The Best Eyelid Wipes!
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
These work great for a gentle cleaning and refreshing of the external areas around the eye by removing dirt, pollen or overnight dryness. Unlike some wipes, the size of these are large enough to do the job while being very portable. The wipes are very soft and biodegradable.
