This Very Short Introduction is an exciting and non-traditional approach to understanding the terminology, properties, and classification of chemical elements. It traces the history and cultural impact of the elements on humankind, and examines why people have long sought to identify the substances around them. The book includes chapters on particular elements such as gold, iron, and oxygen, showing how they shaped culture and technology. Looking beyond the Periodic Table, the author examines our relationship with matter, from the uncomplicated vision of the Greek philosophers, who believed there were four elements--earth, air, fire, and water--to the work of modern-day scientists in creating elements such as hassium and meitnerium. Packed with anecdotes, The Elements is a highly engaging and entertaining exploration of the fundamental question: what is the world made from?

Quality booties that don’t fall off
Size: 0-3 Months Infant, Color: Ivory Sherpa, Size: 0-3 Months Infant, Color: Ivory Sherpa
Love these booties - super cute, quality made, and they don’t fall off even when we’re passing the baby around. We put these on without socks; the booties are not lined with fleece but has a firm sole. I got the 0-3 months size for my 3 month old and there’s still a little bit of room to grow. Easy to put on baby’s wiggling feet and there are two snap buttons to select for fit. There’s really no grip on these so not sure how they hold up for walking. The fleece is plush and seems to keep baby’s feet warm.

Love these shoes!!
Size: 6-12 Months Infant, Color: Ivory Sherpa, Size: 6-12 Months Infant, Color: Ivory Sherpa
In the winter/fall months these were our go to shoes for our daughter! They were comfortable for her and kept her feet warm. Easy to put on and take off and so cute!! We’ve washed them quite a few times and they hold up really well.

Cute and stay on wiggly baby!
Size: 0-3 Months Infant, Color: Ivory Sherpa
Love these boots because they are so cute and stay on my wiggly baby's feet because of the snap that holds them in place. I also like how there are two different snaps to choose from depending on how thick your baby's feet are.

Cozy Robeez
Robeez have always been my go-to baby shoe. They are good quality and a good fit with room to grow. I never go by the month sizing since it really varies for each child. These cozy booties are nice and soft with the same fit as the standard robeez soft sole shoes. These are adjustable with two snaps options to make them tighter or looser.

Prefer over socks!
Size: 12-18 Months Toddler, Color: Pink Sherpa
These are a great option for babies and toddlers that won’t keep their socks on! We wear these all the time- my little girl even takes naps in them sometimes. They are soft and washable and I love that they have the grippies on the bottom now that she’s walking. She doesn’t slip in them even when walking like she does in some socks.
