Giordano Bruno (1548-1600) is one of the great figures of early modern Europe, and one of the least understood. Ingrid D. Rowland's biography establishes him once and for all as a peer of Erasmus, Shakespeare, and Galileo--a thinker whose vision of the world prefigures ours.
Writing with great verve and erudition, Rowland traces Bruno's wanderings through a sixteenth-century Europe where every certainty of religion and philosophy has been called into question, and reveals how he valiantly defended his ideas to the very end, when he was burned at the stake as a heretic on Rome's Campo de' Fiori. "A loving and thoughtful account of Bruno's] life and thought, satires and sonnets, dialogues and lesson plans, vagabond days and star-spangled nights. . . . Ingrid D. Rowland has her reasons for preferring Bruno to Copernicus, Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler, even Galileo and Leonardo, and they're good ones."--John Leonard, Harper's "Whatever else Bruno was, he was wild-minded and extreme, and Rowland communicates this, together with a sense of the excitement that his ideas gave him. . . . It's that feeling for the explosiveness of the period, and Rowland's] admiration of Bruno for participating in it--indeed, dying for it--that is the central and most cherishable quality of the biography."--Joan Acocella, New Yorker "Rowland tells this great story in moving, vivid prose, concentrating as much on Bruno's thought as on his life. . . . His restless mind, as she makes clear, not only explored but transformed the heavens."--Anthony Grafton, New York Review of Books " Bruno] seems to have been an unclassifiable mixture of foul-mouthed Neapolitan mountebank, loquacious poet, religious reformer, scholastic philosopher, and slightly wacky astronomer."--Anthony Gottlieb, New York Times Book Review "A marvelous feat of scholarship. . . . This is intellectual biography at its best."--Peter N. Miller, New Republic "An excellent starting point for anyone who wants to rediscover the historical figure concealed beneath the cowl on Campo de' Fiori."--Paula Findlen, NationBinding Type: Paperback

Great shoes but seem to run bigger than other styles of Saucony
Size: 4 Wide Big Kid, Color: Navy/Pink
We pretty much stick with one or two brands. I have a kiddo with wide feet, who recently wore out her size 3 wides (big kid) in another pair of Saucony shoes, but she was also right at the end of the shoe, so I went with a whole size up. She picked these. The size 4's are enormous, so we had to pick another style in a 3.5w, as these didn't have 1/2 sizes and will hold on to these for fall. I picked up another brand in 4W that actually fit really well now, but they are not as heavy duty as these. I'm hoping the next style in a 3.5 isn't too small. Love these shoes, but the sizing on them feels less and less predictable. Compared to most shoes I have always had to size down in these, but now even between styles in their brand.n

Great shoes
Size: 1 Little Kid, Color: Fuchsia, Size: 1 Little Kid, Color: Fuchsia
This is a review for Saucony unisex child cohesion FST (little kid/big) size 1. These shoes are good quality and all the stitching is on point. They fit true to size for my daughter and the Velcro snaps are convenient for a little ones. I like the color of these ones as it looks cute. They have been comfortable wear and we’ve been out for hours while wearing them. I think they’re fairly easy to keep clean. I just wipe them down with a damp cloth and they come clean easily. I think these are a fair value as well and if you’re looking for a basic pair of shoes for your little one, I would recommend them.

Great play sneaker for outside
Size: 1 Little Kid, Color: Fuchsia
These sneakers fit my daughter’s feet perfectly and she loves the color. I trust the Saucony brand as I’ve owned several pairs. They are well made and this pair is an excellent option for play sneakers. My kids are outside a lot and I need a sneaker that can handle running, climbing and occasionally getting wet. There is generous breathable mesh and the shoes dry quickly.
My daughter has slightly wider feet and these fit comfortably. I also appreciate that they are Velcro so can be put on or taken off quickly because we all know kids are impatient when it comes to playtime.

Great everyday sneaker
Size: 1 Little Kid, Color: Fuchsia
I bought these for my kid and honestly didn’t expect to like them as much as I do, but they’ve been great so far. They’re lightweight, easy to get on, look cute, fit well, and actually seem comfortable enough that there’s been zero complaining (which is saying a lot).
The grip on the bottom is solid, and they’ve held up really well with everyday wear, running around, playground, all of it. I also like that they’re breathable, so no sweaty feet at the end of the day.
They’re not the most “fancy” sneaker out there, but for the price, the quality feels really fair. If anything, I wish they came in even more color options because we’d probably buy another pair.
Overall, really good everyday shoe. If you just need something reliable, comfortable, and kid-proof, these definitely do the job.
