The story of the compass is shrouded in mystery and myth, yet most will agree it begins around the time of the birth of Christ in ancient China. A mysterious lodestone whose powers affected metal was known to the Chinese emperor. When this piece of metal was suspended in water, it always pointed north. This unexplainable occurrence led to the stone's use in feng shui, the Chinese art of finding the right location. However, it was the Italians, more than a thousand years later, who discovered the ultimate destiny of the lodestone and unleashed its formidable powers. In Amalfi sometime in the twelfth century, the compass was born, crowning the Italians as the new rulers of the seas and heralding the onset of the modern world. Retracing the roots of the compass and sharing the fascinating story of navigation through the ages, The Riddle of the Compass is Aczel at his most entertaining and insightful.Binding Type: Paperback

Great for Kids, Smells Nice, and No Harsh Chemicals
Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 2)
This sunscreen spray is easy to apply, not greasy, and doesn’t leave a sticky residue. The tropical fruit scent is light and pleasant, which makes it easier to convince kids to wear it. I also like that Alba Botanica avoids oxybenzone and other harsh chemicals. It holds up well for swimming and outdoor play. The 2-pack is convenient to keep one at home and one in the beach bag. It is a great deal!

Does not spray
Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 2)
Does not spray!!! This is the second set I purchased and I have had issues that I was unable to spray with 3 of the 4 bottles. Was incredibly inconvenient when we brought a new bottle on vacation and it didn't work. Company would not send a replacement - only a physical coupon. I cannot find the sunscreen in stores and the coupon only covers about half a new bottle.
