Giordano Bruno (1548-1600) is one of the great figures of early modern Europe, and one of the least understood. Ingrid D. Rowland's biography establishes him once and for all as a peer of Erasmus, Shakespeare, and Galileo--a thinker whose vision of the world prefigures ours.
Writing with great verve and erudition, Rowland traces Bruno's wanderings through a sixteenth-century Europe where every certainty of religion and philosophy has been called into question, and reveals how he valiantly defended his ideas to the very end, when he was burned at the stake as a heretic on Rome's Campo de' Fiori. "A loving and thoughtful account of Bruno's] life and thought, satires and sonnets, dialogues and lesson plans, vagabond days and star-spangled nights. . . . Ingrid D. Rowland has her reasons for preferring Bruno to Copernicus, Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler, even Galileo and Leonardo, and they're good ones."--John Leonard, Harper's "Whatever else Bruno was, he was wild-minded and extreme, and Rowland communicates this, together with a sense of the excitement that his ideas gave him. . . . It's that feeling for the explosiveness of the period, and Rowland's] admiration of Bruno for participating in it--indeed, dying for it--that is the central and most cherishable quality of the biography."--Joan Acocella, New Yorker "Rowland tells this great story in moving, vivid prose, concentrating as much on Bruno's thought as on his life. . . . His restless mind, as she makes clear, not only explored but transformed the heavens."--Anthony Grafton, New York Review of Books " Bruno] seems to have been an unclassifiable mixture of foul-mouthed Neapolitan mountebank, loquacious poet, religious reformer, scholastic philosopher, and slightly wacky astronomer."--Anthony Gottlieb, New York Times Book Review "A marvelous feat of scholarship. . . . This is intellectual biography at its best."--Peter N. Miller, New Republic "An excellent starting point for anyone who wants to rediscover the historical figure concealed beneath the cowl on Campo de' Fiori."--Paula Findlen, NationBinding Type: Paperback

Perfect Kit For Cold Brew Coffee or Teas
Size: 32 Ounces, Color: Gray
I make coffee many different ways and have been doing cold brew in a regular mason jar without a filter. I just got this set up and am very pleased. The kit comes with a thick glass mason jar of good quality, a filter basket and a lid that fits on top of a wide mouth mason jar. The lid has a sturdy handle attached to it and a secure pour spout with its own snap tight cover.
This is a perfect set up for cold brewing coffee. I filled the jar with water and secured the lid. I shook it up and turned it upside down and there were no leaks so it will be safe from accidental tip overs.
If you are looking for an easy way to make cold brew coffee then I strongly recommend this simple set up. It is shaped just like a regular Mason jar with a pour spout lid so it can fit almost anywhere a Mason jar will fit.
This also looks to be good for making small batches of sun tea with loose leaf tea.
Enjoy!

This works great for either cold or hot coffee or tea. Mine has had a workout since the day I received it. Easy to use and clean. Give me a a few weeks to check on the durability.

So close to perfect.
Size: 64 Ounces, Color: Orange
I'm enjoying the hell outa this. On my third batch in a week. No, you don't really need one to make cold brew. You could probably scrounge up everything you need in a reasonably well-stocked kitchen. But it really makes things so much easier. And it cleans up nicely. I might even buy another (I drink a lot of ice coffee in the summer). The ONLY drawback is the cheap, plastic screw-on lid. I don't trust it. I'd pay $10 bucks more for a metal lid. So, we'll take one star back.

Great cold brew at home save yourself some money get it now
Size: 64 Ounces, Color: 2Pack-Gray
This is a great way to make cold brew at home. I love the look, and size fits in the fridge perfectly. The system could not be any easier to use put coffee in, and put it in the fridge. The glass seems to be normal mason jar thickness and the handle is nice and sturdy. Very nicely made for the price.
