The Waste BooksGerman scientist and man of letters Georg Christoph Lichtenberg was an 18th century polymath: an experimental physicist, an astronomer, a mathematician, a practicing critic both of art and literature.

German scientist and man of letters Georg Christoph Lichtenberg was an 18th-century polymath: an experimental physicist, an astronomer, a mathematician, a practicing critic both of art and literature. He is most celebrated, however, for the casual notes and aphorisms that he collected in what he called his Waste Books. With unflagging intelligence and encyclopedic curiosity, Lichtenberg wittily deflates the pretensions of learning and society, examines a range of philosophical questions, and tracks his own thoughts down hidden pathways to disconcerting and sometimes hilarious conclusions. Lichtenberg's Waste Books have been greatly admired by writers as very different as Tolstoy, Einstein, and Andre Breton, while Nietzsche and Wittgenstein acknowledged them as a significant inspiration for their own radical work in philosophy. The record of a brilliant and subtle mind in action, The Waste Books are above all a powerful testament to the necessity, and pleasure, of unfettered thought.Binding Type: Paperback

Bought this wallet for my husband and he loves it. It’s softness, design, ease of use, perfect size and great value for the money. The magnet strength is perfect. Bought for Christmas and he’s still telling me how wonderful it is. Great product .

Quality Meets Functionality
Color: Black8017, Material Type: Leather
Very impressed with the quality material and functionality of this wallet, I had to buy a second one. (Coffee + Black). It opens and folds-out like a breeze in your hand and stays closed when not in use. The pop-up card holder mechanism works well too. The overall compact size makes up for the thickness of this wallet. It is thick. I wouldn’t recommend sitting on this one, but it’s small enough to keep in a front pocket while seated.
