By: Dava SobelDava Sobel's The Glass Universe will be available from Viking in December 2016
With her bestsellers Longitude and Galileo's Daughter, Dava Sobel introduced readers to her rare gift for weaving complex scientific concepts into a compelling narrative. Now Sobel brings her full talents to bear on what is perhaps her most ambitious topic to date-the planets of our solar system. Sobel explores the origins and oddities of the planets through the lens of popular culture, from astrology, mythology, and science fiction to art, music, poetry, biography, and history. Written in her characteristically graceful prose, The Planets is a stunningly original celebration of our solar system and offers a distinctive view of our place in the universe.
* A New York Times extended bestseller
* A Featured Alternate of the Book-of-the-Month Club, History Book Club, Scientific American Book Club, and Natural Science Book Club
* Includes 11 full-color illustrations by artist Lynette R. Cook
"[The Planets] lets us fall in love with the heavens all over again."
-The New York Times Book Review
"Playful . . . lyrical . . . a guided tour so imaginative that we forget we're being educated as we're being entertained."
-Newsweek
" [Sobel] has outdone her extraordinary talent for keeping readers enthralled. . . . Longitude and Galileo's Daughter were exciting enough, but The Planets has a charm of its own . . . . A splendid and enticing book."
-San Francisco Chronicle
"A sublime journey. [Sobel's] writing . . . is as bright as the sun and its thinking as star-studded as the cosmos."
-The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"An incantatory serenade to the Solar System. Grade A-"
-Entertainment Weekly
"Like Sobel's [Longitude and Galileo's Daughter] . . . [The Planets] combines masterful storytelling with clear, engaging explanations of the essential scientific facts."

Fabulous!
Special Size: 19" Capri with Pockets, Size: X-Small, Color: Flamingo Pink
These are AMAZING! Just received my first two pairs ( black and flamingo pink) and I am back ordering more! They are so smooth and soft and feel great! They fit so well-not to restrictive but have strength enough in the Lycra to look amazing (not the thin, flimsy, cheap tights/leggings). I live in the Sunshine State so I can wear these to workout and run indoor or outdoor practically year round. I prefer this shorter length because they are cooler to wear in the 95° heat 100% humidity. So hoping they make these in the green color and the bright blue color that is available in the full length active leggings! These are my new favorite crop active leggings! Please, please, please make more colors! Amazon, these are fabulous quality and style and at this price point, I'd buy every color and pattern available (I just don't do flesh tones).

Super comfortable fabric and launders well.
Special Size: 19" Capri with Pockets, Size: Large, Color: Taupe
Super soft fabric with a nice high waist that does not seem to rolll down when exercising, Yeah!
As always I love a good cell phone pocke. After the comfortable fit I also ordered the Slate Blue version.
BTW, I have had 2 knee replacements so this below the knee length is a perfect solution for my vanity issues!.

Great product and quality!
Special Size: 19" Capri with Pockets, Size: Medium, Color: Slate Grey
I got the matching sports bra for these and I love the set together and honestly really liked the shorter leggings. The quality is incredible and super comfortable. For the amount I spent on this set it was absolutely worth it. The material is definitely thick enough so they are squat proof but they fit a little loose. I think I would size down one size if I bought another color in these. Overall great product!

THESE
Special Size: 19" Capri without Pockets, Size: X-Small, Color: Navy
I love these leggings! Purchased Navy seriously I have had a gazillion brands, styles types, ie. flare, etc. over my legging years of which there are many. These are the best so far. Perfect for ME. I am 112lbs. 5'1" so not 'normal human size' as my kids say. The small is perfect. Hits 'capri' length on my smaller frame a little longer for me so yay for that too. These are super good quality and I am picky about leggings. They are better than Costco WHAT? Yes they are. **NOTE: These do NOT have a phone pocket which I was also looking for. I am over phone pockets for now. These you could dress up for a night out. Buying every color. The price point is low-so were my expectations. But VOILA! These were a super surprise. Happiness is my Amazon delivery human.
