Finalist for the 2015 PEN/E. O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award "Lively . . . Rogers's] descriptions of the science behind familiar drinks exert a seductive pull." -- New York Times Humans have been perfecting alcohol production for ten thousand years, but scientists are just starting to distill the chemical reactions behind the perfect buzz. In a spirited tour across continents and cultures, Adam Rogers takes us from bourbon country to the world's top gene-sequencing labs, introducing us to the bars, barflies, and evolving science at the heart of boozy technology. He chases the physics, biology, chemistry, and metallurgy that produce alcohol, and the psychology and neurobiology that make us want it. If you've ever wondered how your drink arrived in your glass, or what it will do to you, Proof makes an unparalleled drinking companion. "Rogers's book has much the same effect as a good drink. You get a warm sensation, you want to engage with the wider world, and you feel smarter than you probably are. Above all, it makes you understand how deeply human it is to take a drink." -- Wall Street Journal

Sleek and mostly simple assembly and use
Size: 7.5 Inches - 2 Packs
I put the parts through the wash to sterilize them before using them. I think this introduced moisture into the grinding unit, which initially affected the grinding so that both the pepper and salt were coming out 'chunky'. I disassembled them and let them thoroughly dry. They are working great now after using them a few times.

A Perfect Gift For Someone Who is Tough To Buy For
Size: 5.3 Inches - 2 Packs with Holder
Very attractive looks and quality build. Most importantly the salt grinder will take sea salt down to powder for popcorn (a make-or-break feature in my house). It doesn't take up much room in the cabinet when stored and very easy to fill. We're just delighted with the value for the money. Any time you are stuck with what to get someone for a birthday, xmas, what ever; you can't go wrong with this Salt & Pepper Grinder Set.

It works but it's not high quality
Size: 5.3 Inches - 1 Pack
Grinder works well except the silver part came loose after using it a couple of times now we have to hold the top part really tight to use it probably should have returned it but it still works

Good Salt Grinder
Size: 5.3 Inches - 1 Pack
Bought this for the pink salt. It crushes it nicely and is easy to fill. The crushing didn't change the taste and this holds a considerable amount of sale. It's a great value for the money and would make a terrific gift.
