Description
Timaeus and Critias'The god wanted everything to be good, marred by as little imperfection as possible.' Timaeus, one of Plato's acknowledged masterpieces, is an attempt to construct the universe and explain its contents by means of as few axioms as possible. The result is a brilliant, bizarre, and surreal cosmos the product of the rational thinking of a creator god and his astral assistants, and of purely mechanistic causes based on the behaviour of the four elements.
'The god wanted everything to be good, marred by as little imperfection as possible.' Timaeus, one of Plato's acknowledged masterpieces, is an attempt to construct the universe and explain its contents by means of as few axioms as possible. The result is a brilliant, bizarre, and surreal cosmos - the product of the rational thinking of a creator god and his astral assistants, and of purely mechanistic causes based on the behaviour of the four elements. At times dazzlingly clear, at times intriguingly opaque, this was state-of-the-art science in the middle of the fourth century BC. The world is presented as a battlefield of forces that are unified only by the will of God, who had to do the best he could with recalcitrant building materials.The unfinished companion piece, Critias, is the foundational text for the story of Atlantis. It tells how a model society became corrupt, and how a lost race of Athenians defeated the aggression of the invading Atlanteans. This new edition combines the clearest translation yet of these crucial ancient texts with an illuminating introduction and diagrams. About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

super comfortable, not waking up as often as before
Color: Grey, Size: Queen
decided to try these after seeing the tons of good reviews and since they were on sale. also one of my favorite colors in general which is a great neutral shade for bedding, not too bright and not too dull. I ordered a queen thinking my mattress might have been a queen as I previously bought some mainstays walmart sheets. with that brand the fitted sheet in full was way too small. turns out my mattress is in fact a full it is just that mainstays is not good quality or sized right, so this brand the queen is a bit big for my mattress but not too big of a deal. i am not looking for a perfect look, just covering the mattress is the most important.
anyway since getting these sheets in the mail and giving them a run through the wash and dry before putting them on my bed my sleep quality has improved. the sheets are not too hot, are soft and I actually do not wake up as often as before. the sheets are not too thin like other brands and are not thick like flannel either. they are a nice in between. I wonder if they will help keep me cool in the summer, probably since they are actually breathable. I would definitely reccommend giving these sheets a try, worth the money and a good deal on sale. better quality that other store bought sheets.

Great Sheets for price. Color is great.
Color: Grey, Size: Twin
These sheets were great cost for the product. They are soft and comfortable seeming as if it will be nice for winter and summer nights. Fit perfectly on a twin bed even givning a little extra room to fit mattress and box spring if mattress is not to large. The thread count for comfort and thickness is great. They seem great for the price. I love the color is completely spot on. very elegant

Amazing for the low price!
Color: Grey, Size: Queen
We bought a newer camper that the previous owners put a regular, deep pocket mattress. After trying to fit our regular ones on and popping right off, I went right to Amazon and searched "deep pocket queen sheets". The first one came up with a very low price, I ordered them. They came in in about a day and a half. They were a great color, perfect fit and so soft. Something I would've paid so much more for! They are fabulous!!!
