***

The sea monsters on medieval and Renaissance maps, whether swimming vigorously, gamboling amid the waves, attacking ships, or simply displaying themselves for our appreciation, are one of the most visually engaging elements on these maps, and yet they have never been carefully studied. The subject is important not only in the history of cartography, art, and zoological illustration, but also in the history of the geography of the "marvelous" and of western conceptions of the ocean. Moreover, the sea monsters depicted on maps can supply important insights into the sources, influences, and methods of the cartographers who drew or painted them. In this highly-illustrated book the author analyzes the most important examples of sea monsters on medieval and Renaissance maps produced in Europe, beginning with the earliest mappaemundi on which they appear in the 10th century and continuing to the end of the 16th century.

“[B]eautifully illustrated. . . . People interested in maps, cryptozoology, folklore, and arcane zoology and zoological history will want to check it out.” ― Scientific American

“Medieval and Renaissance map scholar, Chet Van Duzer, backed by the British Library as publisher, have teamed up to produce a spectacular new book, Sea Monsters on Medieval and Renaissance Maps, a topic, oddly enough, for which there is little by way of real precedent. This book will become the sea monster authority by default. Although this beautiful book is a product of academic quality, it is very readable and accessible and requires no prior knowledge.” ― BibliOdyssey

Moisturizes with simmer!
Size: 5.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Not a lot of shimmer, which is a good thing when putting it on, thought it was going to be overwhelming from the bottle, but not. Moisturizes all day. Smell is strong in the beginning but dissipates after a while.

I caught a vibe!
Size: 5.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Ok, so I love this oil. As a pool girlie I loved laying out and lathering this on. The smell is simply fantastic! The bottle actually caught thy eye of a few sparkle girlies too by the pool and wanted to know where I got it. For a second I felt cool so, it’s five stars for me for setting a vibe and being the cool girl at the pool, with the sparkle and the great smelling skin!

Great lotion for very dry skin
Style: Updated Formula
I had a laser done on my face and the products they gave me weren't working. This came highly recommended so I gave it a try. I'm very glad I did! It moisturized my face really well without appearing greasy. I used the rest when my face got dry from winter (in th midwest). Felt very rich and smooth. Medium thickness.
