Time Reborn: From the Crisis in Physics to the Future of the Universe"If you are looking for a bracing alternative vision of physics built from the ground up, Smolin's Time Reborn will take you to the mountaintop." NPR What is time? It's the sort of question we rarely ask because it seems so obvious. And yet, to a physicist, time is simply a human construct and an illusion. If you could somehow get outside the universe and observe it from there, you would see that every moment has always existed and always will. Lee
"If you are looking for a bracing alternative vision of physics built from the ground up, Smolin's Time Reborn will take you to the mountaintop." -- NPR
What is time? It's the sort of question we rarely ask because it seems so obvious. And yet, to a physicist, time is simply a human construct and an illusion. If you could somehow get outside the universe and observe it from there, you would see that every moment has always existed and always will. Lee Smolin disagrees, and in Time Reborn he lays out the case why. Developments in physics and cosmology point toward the reality of time and the openness of the future. Smolin's groundbreaking theory postulates that physical laws can evolve over time and the future is not yet determined. Newton's fundamental laws may not remain so fundamental. Time Reborn serves as a popular primer and investigation of time, both what it is and how the true nature of it impacts our world. "He challenges not only Einstein's relativity, but also the very notion of natural laws as immutable truths." -- Economist "One of the essential books of the twenty-first century . . . Smolin provides a much-needed dose of clarity about time, with implications that go far beyond physics to economics, politics, and personal philosophy." -- Jaron Lanier, author of You Are Not a GadgetBinding Type: Paperback

Great way to support summer learning!
Format: Paperback
I absolutely love the Summer Bridge Activities: Bridging Grades 3–4! This workbook is a fantastic way to keep kids engaged and learning over the summer break. The activities are well-designed, fun, and educational, providing the perfect balance between reinforcing what they’ve already learned and getting them excited for the next school year. The layout is visually appealing, with colorful pages and interactive exercises that make learning feel like play.
What I appreciate most is how it covers key subjects like math, reading, writing, and critical thinking skills in bite-sized chunks that kids can easily manage. My child enjoyed doing a little bit each day, and I noticed significant improvement in their confidence as they completed each activity. It's great that this workbook also includes helpful tips for parents to guide their kids through the exercises.
Overall, this is a must-have resource for parents looking to keep their children sharp and engaged during the summer while still having fun. Highly recommend!

Great for growing minds!
I love these workbooks! We used to buy these at a local store until it closed. They help kids retain what they learned in school over the summer. The worksheet usually takes 5-10 minutes a day.

Cute adorable book "I Love You to the Moon and Back"
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
Review: "I Love You to the Moon and Back "
**Rating:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Headline: 🧸 Adorable, Durable, and Perfect for a 5-Year-Old!
I purchased **"I Love You to the Moon and Back"** for my 5-year-old granddaughter, and it’s an absolute treasure! This is the kind of book that’s a **joy to read aloud** and sturdy enough to handle little hands.
**👍 What We Loved (The Pros):**
* **Illustrations:** The pictures by **Tim Warnes are fantastic**—they are bright, engaging, and have a lovely, classic feel that really captivates my granddaughter's attention.
* **Quality & Durability:** As a **cute little hardcover book**, it's built to last. It holds up well to repeated readings and being carried around the house.
* **The Story :** The simple, sweet message is just right for this age group. It reinforces a sweet, loving sentiment and makes for a comforting and quick read before naptime or bed.
**📝 Room for Improvement (A Minor Note):**
* Honestly, it’s hard to find a fault here. Perhaps just that we wish it was a little longer because she asks to read it immediately again!
**Overall Impression:**
A wonderful, high-quality picture book that makes a great gift. It combines **beautiful artwork** with an endearing story. We highly recommend it 👍🏾💜
