Explore the mysteries of the universe without ever leaving your home Bill Bryson takes on the world of science and answers questions big and small, perfect for curious readers looking to learn outside of the classroom Did you know that: - Every atom in your body has almost certainly passed through several stars and been part of millions of organisms on its way to being you? - If you are an average-sized kid, you have enough potential energy inside you to explode with the force of several hydrogen bombs? And--What happened to dinosaurs? How big is the universe? Why are oceans salty? Is a meteor going to hit us? Tackling everything from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization, Bill Bryson's inimitable storytelling skill makes the why, how, and, just as importantly, the who of scientific discovery entertaining and accessible for young readers.Binding Type: Hardcover

Nice Sleeping Partner
Color: Grey
This is a fantastic body pillow. It comes with the cover and is relatively cooler than the bamboo versions. I have slept with this pillow and I am not disappointed with it, unlike my partner on the other side.

Perfect size even tho I wanted hard/firm. This soft pillow is acceptable.
Color: Grey
I didn’t read every thing properly but even though I got the wrong product ( soft ) it still is not bad. It works for my intended use (between legs ) even though it’s soft I’m still using it for now because after fluffing it out and cramming it in two regular pillow cases it seems to keep a decent thickness to it JUST. In fairness I don’t know if it would get smaller in just one pillow case. But because I’m dumb I will use it for now and I still like it. I can’t comment on the cooling part because I use it under a blanket. The cooling thing only works with low thread count material and if it’s exposed to air. I have neither sorry. We all know the “ cooling” thing is a gimmick any ways. But with the right material and air some things do cool better than others at the same time. Hope this helps lol

wife loves it as a pregnancy pillow
Color: Grey
For my wife's first pregnancy we got a ton of really bad recommendations for pregnancy pillows that ended up being basically useless -- ones with small beads inside that moved away from where she needed it, weird wedge ones that would just fall out of place immediately, the question mark one that was just uncomfortable.
all she really needed was something like this. large, firm enough, and doesn't just shift around a bunch. her sleep quality during the second pregnancy third trimester has really improved since we got it.
