***

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

Well Worth the Price to Stock up on!!
This is my favorite dish soap. It foams and cleans as good as if not better than some brand name foaming dish soaps that are out there. It's difficult to find in a brick and mortar store, if you can. When I found them here I bought them right up.

Best dish detergent ever!
This is the best dish washing detergent we have purchased. The last one did not foam for long and in a cold kitchen turned solid. This one lasts for a good while and retains its fluid flow. It also smells very nice.

Great, light product.
I really love that this product is from an ancient recipe from JR Watkins. Not heavy and soapy, I have sprayers that I use to spray those items that need a quick wash. From plant-derived liquids, this stuff removes any food products as well as any heavy liquid detergent I have ever used. Been using it for several years now and see no reason to stop.

My Favorite
I've been using this dish detergent for months. I just love it. The light fresh lemon scent and the fact that it does not give you dish-pan hands like those name brand grease cutting detergents. You have to spray more of this on a greasy surface and wash 2, maybe 3x depending on the surface, but it will cut grease. Love the spray bottle too. If the sprayer gets wonky I've found that if I remove the white screen from the sprayer nozzle it works better.
