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.Binding Type: Paperback

Good
This thing is huge which makes it a little weird to use. It feels nice to put on, but then once it is on it feels kinda waxy I’m not really a fan. It also has a not super pleasant (in my opinion) scent. However, it lasts a long time as long as you’re not eating/drinking and it does meek moisturizing

Beef Tallow Lip Balm-honey
Nice size, comes in a box and sealed with the label for tamper protection.
Don't like the strong smell (its a weird 'old perfume' scent which is a turn off going on my lips) and most importantly it doesn't seem to moisturize at all for my winter cracked lips.

Hate to be first to leave a negative review
I'm not thrilled with being the first to leave not only a review, but a negative one at that. I ordered this as it's limited ingredients with no artificial fragrance but received it and can't get the men's perfume scent off my lips or the taste from my mouth. It's supposed to be honey as the scent, made with honey and there is no honey scent to it. I'm not sure if I got a bad batch or what as this is my first purchase with this brand. It tastes and smells like an artificial cologne. I've used other tallow products before and never had this kind of scent to it.

Light scent, super hydrating, large tube
I guess I'm in the minority lol, but I really like this lip balm. I think the smell is subtle, like honey vanilla, and I think the taste is pretty neutral. I don't have a strong sense of smell, but I hate perfumey scents, and I don't mind this at all. I found it to be super hydrating on my dry winter lips. It glides on really easily and smoothly and kind of melts onto the lips. The tube is huge too - .5 oz is at least 3 times the size of a normal chap stick. It has a great lid and there's little chance of it opening in a purse or pocket. Price is really reasonable too. I'm a fan.
