Richard Hough's vivid narrative captures all the excitement of this age of discovery and establishes Cook as a link between the vague scientific speculations of the early eighteenth century and the industrial revolution to come. A pioneer in many fields, Cook produced maps of unprecedented accuracy; revolutionized the seaman's diet, all but eliminating scurvy; and exploded the myth of the Great Southern Continent imagined by earlier geographers and scientists.
Hough consulted numerous archives and traveled in Cook's wake from Alaska to Tasmania, visiting many of the Pacific islands--including the spot where Cook was stoned to death by cannibals in the Hawaiian archipelago--to produce a comprehensive and immensely readable biography, full of new insights into the life of one of the worlds greatest mariners.

Adorable!
Color: A White, Color: A White
I'm not sure what I saw in Mt mind's eye when I ordered this, but this was not it. HOWEVER, this little deer can't be more than 3.5 inches long and with it's over exaggerated antlers it actually makes the CUTEST little jewelry tree. As you can see I put studs thru the holes where the pairs are in symmetrical spots, but as my daughter said "it's kind of awkward that they aren't closer"
But the studs I'll keep in place will be my least used, so it shouldn't be an issue.
This little tree is made of very lightweight plastic which snapped together easily, but a big part of me hopes to someday find one a bit larger, made of ceramic.
As my daughter said "it's by far the most creative one I've ever seen"

Not worth it
Color: A White
Cheap and flimsy, Fell over with my jewelry on it. Everything got tangled because eit wasn't spaced out. For anyone looking to buy it--dont. It may not be tall enough for your necklaces to dangle and not drag on the tray. However it is beautiful, would not buy again

Great for college!
Color: A White, Color: A White
I am not one to decorate my room, but this really helps put vibes in it. Unfortunately, you cannot put a lot on this, but it is still good to put your everyday jewelry on. I find that I can only put two necklaces on the antlers because anymore it would get tangled. Earrings can be a little tricky to put in depending on what type of backing it has rings and bracelets. I usually put at the bottom of the tray and I don’t have problems with that.

Beautiful and Functional Desk Upgrade
Color: Pink Marble-31.5"x15.8"(with Wall Charger)
I absolutely love this Pink Marble Mouse Pad with 15W Wireless Charging. The design is beautiful, soft, and feminine without being too much, and it instantly makes my desk look more polished and organized. The large size is perfect because it gives me plenty of room for my keyboard, mouse, notebook, and other desk essentials while still keeping everything looking neat.
The wireless charging feature is such a convenient bonus. I love being able to place my phone down and charge it while I work without having extra cords everywhere. The surface is smooth, my mouse glides easily, and the pad feels comfortable during long hours at my desk.
Overall, this is a great mix of style and function. It is perfect for a home office, gaming setup, content creation space, or anyone who wants their desk to look cute and stay practical. Highly recommend!

Works Well and Good Quality
Color: Black-Stock Market-31.5"x15.8"(with Wall Charger)
The recharging feature works well for both phone and earbuds. Phone charges very fast. Great looking mousepad that has ample size for both keyboard and mouse. Mouse moves easily on the surface and is much better than using it solely on a tabletop. Great price too!
