Superconductivity--the flow of electric current without resistance in certain materials as temperatures near absolute zero--is one of the greatest discoveries of 20th century physics, but it can seem impenetrable to those who lack a solid scientific background. Outlining the fascinating history of how superconductivity was discovered, and the race to understand its many mysterious and counter-intuitive phenomena, Stephen Blundell explains in accessible terms the theories that have been developed to explain it, and how they have influenced other areas of science, including the Higgs boson of particle physics and ideas about the early Universe. This Very Short Introduction examines the many strange phenomena observed in superconducting materials, the latest developments in high-temperature superconductivity, the potential of superconductivity to revolutionize the physics and technology of the future, and much more. It is a fascinating detective story, offering invaluable insights into some of the deepest and most beautiful ideas in physics today.About the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.

The best!
Size: Standard, Size: Standard
This is definitely the best steam mop I have ever tried. It is easy to use and easy to assemble. I like the cord length. It covered my entire living room, kitchen and hallway. I just had to switch once! It comes with different attachments which you can use in your kitchen, and to clean windows etc. The mop pads are easy to clean and machine washable. It is definitely a must have if you want a clean, germ free home. Definitely recommended.

Absolutely Worth It!
Size: Standard
I've been using the Schenley Steam Mop for a few weeks now, and I'm genuinely impressed with how well it cleans. The steam heats up very quickly, and I love that I can clean my floors without using harsh chemicals. It easily removed dirt and sticky spots from my tile floors and left them looking fresh and sanitized. Very happy with the purchase!

CORD is TOOOOOO SHORT!
Size: Compact
Update: Schenley Customer Service paid attention to my review. While they obviously couldn't fix the short cord, they did send extra pads.
I appreciate this effort. I will need to use an extension cord, when using. Not sure how Schenley could rectify- maybe with a credit towards the purchase of their upgraded model, with longer cord?
This Steam Mop does a great job. It leaves no water residue after you've mopped. This is a change from a previous steamer I owned. If this mop's cord was longer, flexible, and containable with the unit, I would have given this five starts. Unfortunately, the cord is extremely short, making it impossible to do a downstairs using one plug socket. You have to turn the unit off, unplug, and then plug in to another socket. This happens multiple times during the process. The unit heats up quickly, but we shouldn't have to constantly plug/unplug turn off/turn on the unit in order to accomplish the job. Schenley needs to make a better, longer cord for this unit. Then, I'll give it five stars.

Love them!
Color: BlackNatural
This knife set exceeded my expectations! The knives are extremely sharp right out of the box and cut through meats, vegetables, and bread with ease. The German high carbon stainless steel feels durable and high quality, and the handles are comfortable to grip while cooking.
I also really like the sleek black knife block — it looks modern and stylish on the counter without taking up too much space. Having 14 pieces included makes this a great complete set for everyday cooking. So far the knives have held their edge well and clean up easily. Excellent value for the price and a great addition to any kitchen!
