From New York Times bestselling author Sam Kean comes incredible stories of science, history, language, and music, as told by our own DNA. In The Disappearing Spoon, bestselling author Sam Kean unlocked the mysteries of the periodic table. In The Violinist's Thumb, he explores the wonders of the magical building block of life: DNA. There are genes to explain crazy cat ladies, why other people have no fingerprints, and why some people survive nuclear bombs. Genes illuminate everything from JFK's bronze skin (it wasn't a tan) to Einstein's genius. They prove that Neanderthals and humans bred thousands of years more recently than any of us would feel comfortable thinking. They can even allow some people, because of the exceptional flexibility of their thumbs and fingers, to become truly singular violinists. Kean's vibrant storytelling once again makes science entertaining, explaining human history and whimsy while showing how DNA will influence our species' future.Binding Type: Paperback

A lot of quality filters for little cost.
Style: 16x20x1, Style: 16x20x1
Been using these for months, great quality. No issues what so ever. I compared price to the 2 main big box stores and this is the best for your bucks. You get a lot more and they are of the same quality. I used to get mine from a big box store with military discount of 10% and this is still a better deal. They fit exactly like the filter I took out, so size is the same. I live FL and run my AC constantly. These last about 2-3 months each. They do no lose their rigidity. They are built with very high quality material. They catch a lot of dust, you can see how dirty they are when replaced.
PROS
- great quality and last 2-3 months in my AC running constantly
- you get a lot for your money when compared to the big box stores
- catch a lot of dirt, filters are really dirty after use
- very rigid which makes it easy to installation
- reinforced wire mesh
CONS
- None

Top quality filters at a good price.
Style: 20x30x1
These filters are good quality. They are reinforced and hold their shape. They fit perfectly in my filter holder.
The thing I like is that the filters were bundled together and shipped in a sturdy box. Other filters I have ordered showed up in a flimsy box and were damaged.
