The Safeguard of the Sea: A Naval History of Britain: 660-1649Throughout the chronicle of Britain's history, one factor above all others has determined the fate of kings, the security of trade, and the integrity of the realm.

Throughout the chronicle of Britain's history, one factor above all others has determined the fate of kings, the security of trade, and the integrity of the realm. Without its navy, Britain would have been a weakling among the nations of Europe, could never have built or maintained the empire, and in all likelihood would have been overrun by the armies of Napoleon and Hitler. Now, for the first time in nearly a century, a prominent naval historian has undertaken a comprehensive account of the history and traditions of this most essential institution. N. A. M. Rodger has produced a superb work, combining scholarship with narrative, that demonstrates how the political and social history of Britain has been inextricably intertwined with the strength-or weakness-of her seapower. From the early military campaigns against the Vikings to the defeat of the great Spanish Armada in the reign of Elizabeth I, this volume touches on some of the most colorful characters in British history. It also provides fascinating details on naval construction, logistics, health, diet, and weaponry. "A splendid book. It combines impressively detailed research with breadth of perception.... Rodger] has prepared an admirable historical record that will be read and reread in the years ahead." Times London]"Binding Type: Paperback

High quality
Scent: Bright Coffee, Size: 4.06 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been very happy with this Batana Oil. It feels like a high-quality, 100% raw and natural product. Since adding it to my hair care routine, my hair has felt softer, more moisturized, and healthier overall. I’ve also noticed less breakage and improved manageability.

It’s nice! Love b.tan products
Color: Ultra Dark Bronze
Works well, I had a nice glow after one sit in a tanning bed using it. Nice smell, watery base. Make note that it’s an accelerant as well as a TINT, my hands and feet had some splotching after because I didn’t know that.

Works great!
Color: Ultra Dark Bronze
This stuff is magical. Goes on dry, not greasy but be careful, no spf so you may burn but what a tan! Also smells of tanning bed spray. Used it at the beach! Incredible!

Great Natural Tan, Just A Little Tacky
Color: Ultra Dark Bronze
This tanning spray definitely helps give a nice natural-looking tan without looking orange or streaky.
I’ve used it outside in the sun, in the tanning bed, and while floating in the pool, and it worked well in all three situations.
The only downside for me is that it feels very tacky on the skin after applying.
Because of that, I definitely prefer using it while relaxing in the pool since it feels less noticeable there.
Overall, the tan results are really pretty and natural, so I’ll keep using it despite the sticky feeling.
