Knowledge of the basic ideas and principles of science is fundamental to cultural literacy. But most books on science are often too obscure or too specialized to do the general reader much good. Science Matters is a rare exception-a science book for the general reader that is informative enough to be a popular textbook for introductory courses in high school and college, and yet well-written enough to appeal to general readers uncomfortable with scientific jargon and complicated mathematics. And now, revised and expanded for the first time in nearly two decades, it is up-to-date, so that readers can enjoy Hazen and Trefil's refreshingly accessible explanations of the most recent developments in science, from particle physics to biotechnology.Binding Type: Paperback

Amazon sell a fine selection of replacement fiberized rubber fiber plugs & cement. Read the reviews.
Color: Vivid Orange
This is the only kit you will ever need at roadside to plug a tire & be on your way.
This kit has it all. I'm a retired long haul trucker. This is my preferred plug kit. I have
stored one of these in all of my trucks & my wife's SUV. You could spend so much
more for other plug kits. But this one works. The price reflects the quality of both
the tools & all the other essentials you will ever need. I recommend you buy this one.
The money you save can be used elsewhere.
Note: Amazon sell a fine selection of replacement fiberized rubber plugs & rubber
cement. This is where you don't want to skimp on cheap-O plugs elsewhere.
These two items are the most important items in the entire system. Be prepared!
Always read the reviews & know the sellers reputation before you purchase things.

ALMOST perfect.
Color: Vivid Orange
Item is as advertised. Durable, and the tools are useful for more than just regular plugs. It comes with the snips which was great as well as actual valve stem replacements which I thought were pretty nice. Only complaint are the plug strips themselves. If the hole is from a bolt or something larger than the average screw, it may take two of them to completely stop the leak. Hope this helped.

Sturdy, high-quality components
Color: Vivid Orange1, Size: 16pcs
Well-made reamer and plug inserter, as well as the 10 plugs, and the accessories. Even the pouch is high quality. Included instructions are very clear -- just be sure not to insert the plug with too much force, or you'll put the entire plug thru the hole. It's so much easier for a simple in-situ scooter tire puncture repair, where removing the tire can be much more time-consuming than removing a car tire. Including the high-quality little water/soap solution mister is a thoughtful feature. I highly recommend.
