Description
Contact with Alien Civilizations: Our Hopes and Fears about Encountering ExtraterrestrialsThe proper study of mankind is not merely Man, but Intelligence. 1 Arthur C. Clarke, 1951 In the long running television series "The X Files," the original Deep Throat said to FBI Special Agent Mulder that "there are those like yourself who believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life." Ah, but that's not the question. If extraterrestrial life exists, most of it may be in simpler forms comparable to the one celled organisms of Earth biology.
The proper study of mankind is not merely Man, but Intelligence. 1 --Arthur C. Clarke, 1951 In the long-running television series "The X-Files," the original Deep Throat said to FBI Special Agent Mulder that "there are those like yourself who believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life." Ah, but that's not the question. If extraterrestrial life exists, most of it may be in simpler forms comparable to the one-celled organisms of Earth biology. Finding such life would be fascinating for scientists, but may be of only passing interest to the general public. What intrigues the average citizen is the possibility of contact with extraterrestrial intelligence. We want to communicate with other sentient beings, learning what they know and telling them about ourselves. We want to ? nd out how they are like us and how they are different. Microorganisms don't have a lot to say. There is another implication of contact that underlies this book: Intel- gent extraterrestrials might have an impact on our future. The information they send us--if any--might change our cultures. They could have c- scious intentions toward us, and possibly the technologies to reach us directly. Their intentions may be benign--or not. Our interest in alien minds is not new. The idea that intelligent beings exist beyond the Earth has been part of the Western intellectual tradition for more than 2000 years. Sometimes this belief was widespread; at other times, it was out of fashion.Binding Type: Hardcover

Excellent pillow case
Color: Gray, Size: Standard (20" X 26"), Color: Gray, Size: Standard (20" X 26")
I bought this Luxear from pillowcase a few days ago and I’m very happy with it.
The standard size fits my pillows perfectly, and the gray color looks modern and goes well with my bedding .
I love it because It has two sides: one with cooling fabric that really feels fresh to the touch (perfect for hot nights), and the other side made of soft cotton, which feels cozy and comfortable.
After just a few days of use, I already notice the difference.
I sleep much more comfortably and no longer wake up feeling too warm.
The material feels high quality and durable. It doesn't have any strange smell which I love from the first moment
Definitely a great purchase!

Finally sleeping through the night without waking up drenched
I was dealing with night sweats almost every night. Waking up overheated, flipping my pillow over constantly, just uncomfortable and restless. It was starting to mess with my sleep in a real way.
Since switching to this cooling pillowcase (and pairing it with a cooling blanket), it’s been a completely different experience. I’m actually staying cool through the night and not waking up soaked or irritated.
The fabric feels cool to the touch right away and doesn’t trap heat like a regular pillowcase. It’s smooth, comfortable, and still feels good after washing. Not stiff or weird like some “cooling” materials can be.
Is it magic? No. But does it noticeably reduce overheating and help you sleep better? Absolutely.
If you run hot at night or deal with night sweats, this is one of those small upgrades that makes a big difference. I wish I had bought it sooner.

so far so good
I was surprised at this pair of pillow cases only because the material seemed impossible to be cooling - it's that weird polyester blend. So far I have not awoken feeling sweaty around my face and scalp. I don't recall what I originally paid but I think it is great value for money! If you are sensitive to out of the box smell, I washed mine first and it didn't impede on the efficacy of the cooling!

It’s like sleeping on a beach in San Vito lo Capo
Italian voice:
I’m a big meaty fella so I put off a lot of heat ya hear. These pillow cases have changed my life. One moment they’re hot and the next you flip them and you’re blasted with a blast of ice cool what it feels like to chew 5 gum feeling capeesh. I would reccomend these pillow cases to even my grandma. If ya wanta get a rest so good that it feels like ya been sleeping with the fishes get these pillow cases, they’re the real deal. Then stop at Pauline’s joint and grab a slice of pizza say Vinnie sent ya. Anyways I gotta go my wife’s cooking up a mean lasgna and we’re gonna watch the dodgers. Let me know how these treat ya I guarantee they will change your life. Vinnie out

Soft "cooling" case.
Yes it is very cool when you lay on it. It doesn't stay cold though. Within a minute or 2 to whatever your temp is.
