A perfect balance of science, history, and sociology, Time's Pendulum traces the important developments in humankind's epic quest to measure the hours, days, and years with accuracy, and how our concept of time has changed with each new technological breakthrough. Written in an easy-to-follow chronological format and illustrated with entertaining anecdotes, author Jo Ellen Barnett's history of timekeeping covers everything from the earliest sundials and water clocks, to the pendulum and the more recent advances of battery-powered, quartz-regulated wrist watches and the powerful radioactive clock, which loses only a few billionths of a second per day, making it nearly ten billion times more accurate than the pendulum clock. A tour of the discoveries and the inventors who endeavored to chart and understand time, Time's Pendulum also explains how each new advance gradually transformed our perception of the world.

Non stick not good.
Size: 10-Piece Set, Color: Copper
Nice looking. Worked great at first. Pans lost their non stick quickly.

Easy to clean,
Size: 10-Piece Set, Color: Copper
Oh, my! This cookware is amazing! It's heavy gauge aluminum so very doubtful it would ever warp as my last set of thin aluminum did. I like the steam escape holes in the lids. Very nice set and a great price. I'd highly recommend?

Great pans at excellent price
Color: Ivory
I waited way too long to purchase these pans. GAMECHANGER. I love the pans, they cook perfectly, no stick and cleanup, a spray and a wipe and spotless. I have purchased many pans that have let me down and ended up in the garbage. I love the beautiful white color also. Excellent price. I could go on and on…

Amazing deal!
Color: Linen Gray
This was my first time trying a ceramic pan, and I’ve only had these three days, but so far I am in love. I’ve made grilled sandwiches, scrambled eggs and fried shrimp with the tiniest bit of butter in the pan, and no sticking! Cleanup is so easy. Just wipe with a sponge, rinse and dry. They’re nice and heavy, so heating is fairly even. Nice stainless steel handles so they can be used in the oven. And I got three of them for just over $30 on a flash deal, which is insane considering the high quality. Great value for the money! Will have to see how they hold up. I did purchase new softer silicone utensils to keep the surface nice. And I’ve laid down the law to hubby… NO non-stick spray on these!

Absolutely as good as other brands!
Color: Linen Gray
A nice looking set of non stick pans! I have bought GreenPan and GreenLife? pans over the last 15-20 years. None have ever lasted more than about 3 years. I do cook a lot. These work as well and I like the price. Clean up easily. They have good heat distribution. Don’t know how long they will last, but for the price, it will be good. They are truly nonstick. Heavier than expected. Quality pans…not flimsy at all. I highly recommend these!
