Although the concept of space is of fundamental importance in both physics and philosophy, until the publication of this book, the idea of space had never been treated in terms of its historical development. It remained for Dr. Jammer, noted scholar and historian of science, to trace the evolution of the idea of space in this comprehensive, thought-provoking study. The focus of the book is on physical, rather than metaphysical, ideas of space; however, philosophical or theological speculations are discussed when relevant. The author has also given special attention to the cultural settings in which the theories developed.Following a Foreword by Albert Einstein and an introductory chapter on the concept of space in antiquity, subsequent chapters consider Judaeo-Christian ideas about space, the emancipation of the space concept from Aristotelianism, Newton's concept of absolute space and the concept of space from the eighteenth century to the present. For this third edition, Dr. Jammer has contributed an extensive new chapter six, reviewing the numerous and profound changes in the philosophy of space since the publication of the second edition.
An abundance of meticulously documented quotations from original sources and numerous bibliographic references make this an exceptionally well-documented book. It is essential reading for philosophers, physicists, and mathematicians, but even nonprofessional readers will find it accessible.

A godsend!!!
Like many others have claimed, this was an absolute godsend for saving my damaged skin barrier. I have combination skin type so gel version was way more effective on my skin than the cream version and did not pill.
My only reservation is that it’s such a small amount of product for the price. I felt that I went through this bottle faster than I would have like for the price I paid.

Top 5️⃣
I’ve been really impressed with La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Gel B5. The lightweight gel texture feels soothing and absorbs quickly without leaving my skin greasy or sticky. It has helped calm dry, irritated areas and noticeably improved the appearance of my skin barrier after just a few uses. I especially love that it’s fragrance-free and gentle enough for sensitive skin. It layers well with the rest of my skincare routine and works great on dry patches, redness, and minor irritation. A little goes a long way

Saved my skin during the winter
Such a great multi-purpose product!! I’ll use under my eyes if my skin is dry, or if I’m using an active that I know will dry my skin. I also would slather it on during the winter if I was walking or running outside and I knew it would be windy. It really helped against windburn.

Lightweight SPF that layers well under makeup
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen feels much lighter than many high-SPF formulas I’ve tried and blends into the skin without leaving a heavy white cast. The texture spreads easily and gives a hydrated finish without feeling greasy, which makes it comfortable for everyday wear on both the face and body. I also liked that it layered well under makeup without pilling.
I used this during long outdoor days and it held up well while still feeling comfortable on the skin. The SPF 60 protection is reassuring, especially for travel, beach days, festivals, or daily sun exposure. Overall, this is a reliable sunscreen option if you want strong protection with a more wearable, skincare-like texture.
