The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries witnessed such fervent investigations of the natural world that the period has been called the "Scientific Revolution." New ideas and discoveries not only redefined what human beings believed, knew, and could do, but also forced them to redefine themselves with respect to the strange new worlds revealed by ships and scalpels, telescopes and microscopes, experimentation and contemplation. Explanatory systems were made, discarded, and remade by some of the best-known names in the entire history of science--Copernicus, Galileo, Newton--and by many others less recognized but no less important. In this Very Short Introduction Lawrence M. Principe explores the exciting developments in the sciences of the stars (astronomy, astrology, and cosmology), the sciences of earth (geography, geology, hydraulics, pneumatics), the sciences of matter and motion (alchemy, chemistry, kinematics, physics), the sciences of life (medicine, anatomy, biology, zoology), and much more. The story is told from the perspective of the historical characters themselves, emphasizing their background, context, reasoning, and motivations, and dispelling well-worn myths about the history of science.

Former celeb makeup artist thinks this is THE best!
Color: Soft Brown, Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I was a pretty successful makeup artist based in NY for many years. I am OBSESSED with eyebrows because even a few millimeters and a different angle can affect the way the entire face looks. Most importantly-I started drawing my eyebrows on in the 1970’s at AGE 12 because I was tired of people asking me “why I plucked my eyebrows” at age 12. I hardly ever had any-so from a very young age I drew them on. Now I am 58-and nothing is more aging than a face with no eyebrows. I won’t even walk my dogs without drawing them on-lol! I am as obsessed with product quality as I was when working my career and at the top of my game, so I try EVERYTHING. I also put my brows on first thing in the morning and do not want them to move or wear off under any conditions-so these relatively new extreme wear products are genius. I have tried ALL the eyebrow “pens” and this is the best. I have almost zero natural brows now, so I draw on each hair with the fine tip (microblade style) in the shape I want. I use two shades, a lighter and a darker because it creates the most real looking optical illusion on my face. I do not have to blend-but a spoolie type thing is attached to the lid if needed. This is the only brand that stays on, never smudges when I work out and even stays on through the night if I wear no makeup and wash my face with a non oil cleanser lightly. (I usually use a cleansing oil and that is the best way to remove this product as well) You can also remove this brow pen with an oil based eye makeup remover (Garnier-but even then it resists removal-genius!) There are about 4 or 5 brow products I think are good enough (out of the 50 plus I have tried in my career) and due to ease of application, shades, fine tip and longest wear-this is holy grail for me.

Good product
Color: Soft Brown, Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I do not buy Cover Girl products, but took a chance on this. I am happy I did. This is a nice eyebrow pencil, for a drugstore brand. It does not have the Cover Girl smell. The color was fine for me. It most certainly does not last 24 hours though. I've no idea why the company is allowed to use that in the name.
