Long before Oliver Sacks became a distinguished neurologist and bestselling writer, he was a small English boy fascinated by metals-also by chemical reactions (the louder and smellier the better), photography, squids and cuttlefish, H.G. Wells, and the periodic table. In this endlessly charming and eloquent memoir, the author of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Awakenings chronicles his love affair with science and the magnificently odd and sometimes harrowing childhood in which that love affair unfolded. In Uncle Tungsten we meet Sacks' extraordinary family, from his surgeon mother (who introduces the fourteen-year-old Oliver to the art of human dissection) and his father, a family doctor who imbues in his son an early enthusiasm for housecalls, to his "Uncle Tungsten," whose factory produces tungsten-filament lightbulbs. We follow the young Oliver as he is exiled at the age of six to a grim, sadistic boarding school to escape the London Blitz, and later watch as he sets about passionately reliving the exploits of his chemical heroes-in his own home laboratory. Uncle Tungsten is a crystalline view of a brilliant young mind springing to life, a story of growing up which is by turns elegiac, comic, and wistful, full of the electrifying joy of discovery.Binding Type: Paperback

Fits perfectly for my Eufy!

Great replacement parts
Style: 28Pack Eufy Omni C20 Accessories
I love my Eufy floor cleaning robot. This replacement parts kit is just perfect for keeping it running perfectly. I am so happy that someone has made cost-friendly options to help keep it that way. This package of 2 Main Brushes, 6 Hepa Filters -( also known as dust filters), 6 Side Brushes, 6 Mops, and 6 Vacuum Bags should keep you going for about 6 months in an average sized home.

Excellent 28‑Pack Replacement Kit – Great Value for the Eufy Omni C20
Style: 28Pack Eufy Omni C20 Accessories
I bought the Mealesee 28‑Pack for my Eufy Omni C20 and it works perfectly. The brushes spin smoothly, the HEPA filters hold up well, and the mops clean without snagging. Every part fits right into place with no extra effort.
Functionality: All components perform as expected.
Quality: Durable materials—steel‑core brushes, nylon side brushes, high‑density HEPA filter, dense microfiber mops.
Fit: Exact match for the Omni C20; easy to install.
Value: A fraction of the price you’d pay buying each part individually.
Overall, a reliable, cost‑effective kit that keeps my vacuum running smoothly.
