Description

First You Build a CloudFor many of us, physics, like math, has always been a thing of mystery and complexity. In First You Build a Cloud, K. C. Cole provides cogent explanations through animated prose, metaphors, and anecdotes, allowing us to comprehend the nuances of physics gravity and light, color and shape, quarks and quasars, particles and stars, force and strength. We also come to see how the physical world is so deeply intertwined with the ways in which we think

For many of us, physics, like math, has always been a thing of mystery and complexity. In First You Build a Cloud, K. C. Cole provides cogent explanations through animated prose, metaphors, and anecdotes, allowing us to comprehend the nuances of physics-gravity and light, color and shape, quarks and quasars, particles and stars, force and strength. We also come to see how the physical world is so deeply intertwined with the ways in which we think about culture, poetry, and philosophy. Cole, one of our preeminent science writers, serves as a guide into the world of such legendary scientific minds as Richard Feynman, Victor Weisskopf, brothers Frank Oppenheimer and J. Robert Oppenheimer, Philip Morrison, Vera Kistiakowsky, and Stephen Jay Gould.

A durable and reliable solution to protect your Apple TV 4K remote
Color: Black
A simple but rugged and durable case for such a fragile and expensive item. The case offers great padding and support for the remote. It fits perfectly over the shell of the device but adds little bulkiness to the overall feel. It is compatible with the most recent iteration of the Apple TV 4K remote. The buttons are easily accessible on the front and the case does provide ample support for the Siri button on the side. Depending on which color variant you choose, the case is easily visible when you inevitably drop it on your bedroom/living room/entertainment room floor.

So well made you could mistake it for an Apple designed case
Color: Black
I searched Amazon for a remote case with touch control sensitivity and this looked like the best option available. I did not check specs, that’s on me. When I received it I realized it wasn’t what I had hoped for. I am glad for the mistake, this keeps the back of the remote scratch free. The case fits so well it could be mistaken for an Apple made case. The edges are raised just enough to protect the controls. It has a nice feel to it and it’s easy to grip without fear of it slipping out of your hands.
