From New York Times bestselling author Sam Kean comes incredible stories of science, history, language, and music, as told by our own DNA. In The Disappearing Spoon, bestselling author Sam Kean unlocked the mysteries of the periodic table. In The Violinist's Thumb, he explores the wonders of the magical building block of life: DNA. There are genes to explain crazy cat ladies, why other people have no fingerprints, and why some people survive nuclear bombs. Genes illuminate everything from JFK's bronze skin (it wasn't a tan) to Einstein's genius. They prove that Neanderthals and humans bred thousands of years more recently than any of us would feel comfortable thinking. They can even allow some people, because of the exceptional flexibility of their thumbs and fingers, to become truly singular violinists. Kean's vibrant storytelling once again makes science entertaining, explaining human history and whimsy while showing how DNA will influence our species' future.Binding Type: Paperback

Ingredible stainless steel/glass grinder set - refillable and adjustable
Model: 2 Pack Salt and Pepper Grinder
Incredible grinder set.
- Unlike some grinders that are made of plastic. This is glass so no reactive, especially to salt. And, no micro-plastic concerns
- You can see inside, so you'll know when you're running low and can shop for more salt or pepper
- Perfect functional size. Some grinders are giant tall towers and other are too small. This one is in the Goldilock zone of just the right size.
- Mill is adjustable and produces a very consistent sized grain.
- EZ to use

Beautiful and work great
They come not filled which is what I wanted. I filled one with Baja mineral sea salt one with pink sea salt and the other with peppercorns. They are beautiful and work great 👍
