A sweeping history of tragic genius, cutting-edge science, and the Haber-Bosch discovery that changed billions of lives--including your own. At the dawn of the twentieth century, humanity was facing global disaster: Mass starvation was about to become a reality. A call went out to the world's scientists to find a solution. This is the story of the two men who found it: brilliant, self-important Fritz Haber and reclusive, alcoholic Carl Bosch. Together they discovered a way to make bread out of air, built city-sized factories, and saved millions of lives. But their epochal triumph came at a price we are still paying. The Haber-Bosch process was also used to make the gunpowder and explosives that killed millions during the two world wars. Both men were vilified during their lives; both, disillusioned and disgraced, died tragically. The Alchemy of Air is the extraordinary, previously untold story of a discovery that changed the way we grow food and the way we make war-and that promises to continue shaping our lives in fundamental and dramatic ways.Binding Type: Paperback

Grind Away
Color: External Adjustment Silver, Size: Rechargeable
These are great, I really like the adjustable of the grind. The only issue, they can be difficult to use with one hand. They are very smooth and slip out of your hand. It would be nice if they had some texture around the top for grip. Other wise a very good product for the price and works very well.

Perfect For My Kitchen
Color: External Adjustment Silver, Size: Rechargeable
I just love this set and its features especially the adjustability of the release of salt and pepper. You don’t have to turn a knob under the bottom where the salt and pepper comes out. Its appearance is sleek and matches well with my kitchen decor.

One month, and both died. Just stopped working.
Color: External Adjustment Silver, Size: Rechargeable
I bought these one month ago and one of them stopped working, almost like it died, but even when on the charger for a long time, it still wouldn’t work. Just died. Then today, the other one broke just the same way. Like the motor completely died no matter how long it’s on the charger. Highly recommend looking in a different direction for electric salt and pepper grinders.
