The Age of the Ship of the Line: The British and French Navies, 1650-1815For nearly two hundred years huge wooden warships called "ships of the line" dominated war at sea and were thus instrumental in the European struggle for power and the spread of imperialism. Foremost among the great naval powers were Great Britain and France, whose advanced economies could support large numbers of these expensive ships. This book, the first joint history of these great navies, offers a uniquely impartial and comprehensive picture of
For nearly two hundred years huge wooden warships called "ships of the line" dominated war at sea and were thus instrumental in the European struggle for power and the spread of imperialism. Foremost among the great naval powers were Great Britain and France, whose advanced economies could support large numbers of these expensive ships. This book, the first joint history of these great navies, offers a uniquely impartial and comprehensive picture of the two forces--their shipbuilding programs, naval campaigns, and battles, and their wartime strategies and diplomacy. Jonathan R. Dull is the author of two award-winning histories of the French navy. Bringing to bear years of study of war and diplomacy, his book conveys the fine details and the high drama of the age of grand and decisive naval conflict. Dull delves into the seven wars that Great Britain and France, often in alliance with lesser naval powers such as Spain and the Netherlands, fought between 1688 and 1815. Viewing war as most statesmen of the time saw it--as a contest of endurance--he also treats the tragic side of the Franco-British wars, which shattered the greater security and prosperity the two powers enjoyed during their brief period as allies.

Sun Bum kit a saver!!
Style: Mineral
Great little bag full of sunscreen for my grandson. Glad we had it to take it everywhere with us. A little pricey but he needs it so instead of taking bunches of bottles we had this.

Sunscreen is great, I would t recommend the chapstick
Style: Original
Sun Bum is hands down the best sunscreen I’ve ever used. It smells incredible, like a tropical vacation with that perfect coconut scent. It goes on smoothly, doesn’t leave you feeling sticky or greasy, and actually works! As long as I reapply every few hours, I don’t get burned, which is more than I can say for most other sunscreens I’ve tried.
The face stick is good, goes on easily, but is a little greasy feeling.
I do not like the chapstick, I can’t keep the taste of it out of my mouth and I feel like you have to put it on again and again.

Absolutely love this!
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Best sunblock I’ve ever purchased! I use it mostly for my toddler and the roll on is so easy to apply even when she’s wiggly. It does leave a slight white residue in general (it’s mineral so it usually will) or if it doesn’t get rubbed on all the way but way better than most other mineral sunscreens I’ve used before. Didn’t feel like she looked like a ghost which was a plus! I use plenty of mineral ones because we have pale skin and burn easily. Felt like this has very good sun protection. Used it in Hawaii and didn’t get any sunburn at all as long as we used it as directed. The roll on is my favorite since it glides so well. I’ve used other roll on ones that don’t cooperate and leave clumps or you have to manually roll the ball to get anything out. This one is my favorite and I will keep buying this one forever!
