How did ancient people make decisions? How do the people in power stay in power? Why did Karl Marx have to go without trousers? A Quick History of Politics answers these questions and more, taking a ride through time from plutocrats to people power.
 
What do you think of when you hear ‘politics’? Is it grey-haired men in suits, shouting at each other in a weird room? Well, you’re partly right… but there’s also a whole lot of crazy stories and weird history in the political world. 
A Quick History of Politics takes a look at the silly side of government, big and small, throughout the ages, and also explains the important stuff, like suffrage, elections and getting your voice heard.
 
You will discover:
  • How the earliest tribes got by without a leader.
  • How the first ever kings and queens ruled their people.
  • When and how democracy was invented, and what it actually means.
  • Why there are so many different ways of governing people, with no one right answer.
  • What ‘gerrymandering’ means (no, we didn’t make that up).
  • How empires, wars and revolutions have shaped the world we live in today.
  • How elections work today.
  • How countries work together (and sometimes fall out).
  • How young activists can use their voice to call for change, before they’re even old enough to vote! 
Plus, read about the women who used ju-jitsu to campaign for equal rights, the dictator who banned beards, and the rhino that became a council member in Brazil. Learn how the media can swing things in modern elections and get savvy to fake news. Test your knowhow with a quiz at the back of the book.
 
Packed with facts and jokes and perfect for introducing young readers to big concepts, the latest in the 
Quick Histories series is here to make politics funny again.

Dove never fails us, ladies! Solid lotion for all over.
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
They can pump out all the fancy moisturizers and lotions they want - I always come back to the originals. Dove has a brand reputation which never fails. This cream serum is awesome for all over my body after a hot shower (bc it kinda dries out my skin). Face and body, it works. Apply after shower before bed and you have a whole skincare routine. Cannot beat the price for less than $10!

It's a great deep conditioning lotion
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is above and beyond your usual body Moisturizer! Very hydrating, I haven't experienced any sticky residue. It absorbs quickly, I put it on just after a shower to hold in moisture. Accidentally discovered while using a lotion applicator for my back that it also gives your hair a great deep conditioning! I didn't have any residue in my hair either.

Honestly the best
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have pretty sensitive skin and have keratosis pilaris on my arms. This is honestly the best lotion I’ve ever used and I’ve tried many many lotions. My skin is soft but not greasy. My arms feel soft which is a huge deal. I’ve been using it for months now and I don’t think I’ll ever use anything else.

Like silk on your skin!!
My all time favorite body lotion!!! Smells great and really moisturizes my skin. Its is thicker than most lotions and is does not leave greasiness like some other brands. Great quality and the best value for your money. I have used this lotion for the past 4 years! Highly recommend!

My new favorite lotion
Not greasy, dries quick, and my skin feels so soft. It has a fresh/clean smell similar to the original Dove bar soap.
