"The man who makes physics sexy . . . the scientist they're calling the next Stephen Hawking." --The Times Magazine

From the New York Times-bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics and the forthcoming The Order of Time, a closer look at the mind-bending nature of the universe.

What are the elementary ingredients of the world? Do time and space exist? And what exactly is reality? In elegant and accessible prose, theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli leads us on a wondrous journey from Democritus to Einstein, from Michael Faraday to gravitational waves, and from classical physics to his own work in quantum gravity. As he shows us how the idea of reality has evolved over time, Rovelli offers deeper explanations of the theories he introduced so concisely in Seven Brief Lessons on Physics. Rovelli invites us to imagine a marvelous world where space breaks up into tiny grains, time disappears at the smallest scales, and black holes are waiting to explode--a vast universe still largely undiscovered.

Pretty nice
Color: 1-Brown, Size: S
It’s kinda cheap but not too bad pretty nice overall and for the price. Good gift I noticed when I went to check and gift it that the interior had some wripples and seemed like seems (string hanging) but they actually refunded me for that. So that was really nice. It’s a good gift overall but you get what you pay for.

Nice size for valet

Good size. Looks nice. Keep it handy on night stand. Holds everything from my husband's pockets & doesn't oversize the table.

Honestly Perfect
Color: 1-Black, Size: S
As a student, this Valet has made my life so much easier! I wake up around 530-6, and it's really easy to feel discombobulated so early. I keep everything I need for the day in this valet before I head out: Chapstick, gum, phone, wallet, keys, watch, even change for parking. It just makes my day so much more efficient because I can grab it and head out w/o thinking. Not to mention the material it's super sleek, affordable, and it looks great on any nightstand. It prevents me from missing anything, and its honestly one of the best investments I've made in college for just getting my day started. Thanks again Baoyun! Mad love, - Anthony

Beige Liner picks up lint, difficult to clean
Color: 1-Black, Size: S, Color: 1-Black, Size: S
I purchased this for my husband to organize things on his nightstand. The design is good and it looks nice, but the interior part with the beige suede picks up dark lint and is difficult to clean. It just makes it look dirty. I've tried vacuuming it, using a lint brush, taking it off with tape, etc. to no avail. It would be better if the inside was the same black material as the exterior.
