Description
The Swerve: How the World Became ModernIt was a beautiful poem of the most dangerous ideas: that the universe functions without the aid of gods, that religious fear is damaging to human life, that pleasure and virtue are not opposites but intertwined, and that matter is made up of very small material particles in eternal motion, randomly colliding and swerving in new directions. Its return to circulation changed the course of history. The poem's vision would shape the thought of Galileo
It was a beautiful poem of the most dangerous ideas: that the universe functions without the aid of gods, that religious fear is damaging to human life, that pleasure and virtue are not opposites but intertwined, and that matter is made up of very small material particles in eternal motion, randomly colliding and swerving in new directions. Its return to circulation changed the course of history. The poem's vision would shape the thought of Galileo and Freud, Darwin and Einstein, and--in the hands of Thomas Jefferson--leave its trace on the Declaration of Independence.
From the gardens of the ancient philosophers to the dark chambers of monastic scriptoria during the Middle Ages to the cynical, competitive court of a corrupt and dangerous pope, Greenblatt brings Poggio's search and discovery to life in a way that deepens our understanding of the world we live in now.

flimsy baking sheet
Most of the set seems to be decent but I'm disappointed in the baking sheet.
It's flimsy and at 425 degrees it pops out of shape and if you're using oil on
the sheet it spews it around when it pops out of shape.

Cleans easily and nothing sticks!
Size: 10-Piece Set, Color: Copper
So far, so good. I didn't realize these were not steel. I wanted to get rid of several aluminum pots and pans because aluminum does not heat well and therefore wastes energy. I don't know what these are made of, but they do heat quickly and cook evenly. Nothing sticks to them.
