Throughout the chronicle of Britain's history, one factor above all others has determined the fate of kings, the security of trade, and the integrity of the realm. Without its navy, Britain would have been a weakling among the nations of Europe, could never have built or maintained the empire, and in all likelihood would have been overrun by the armies of Napoleon and Hitler. Now, for the first time in nearly a century, a prominent naval historian has undertaken a comprehensive account of the history and traditions of this most essential institution. N. A. M. Rodger has produced a superb work, combining scholarship with narrative, that demonstrates how the political and social history of Britain has been inextricably intertwined with the strength-or weakness-of her seapower. From the early military campaigns against the Vikings to the defeat of the great Spanish Armada in the reign of Elizabeth I, this volume touches on some of the most colorful characters in British history. It also provides fascinating details on naval construction, logistics, health, diet, and weaponry. "A splendid book. It combines impressively detailed research with breadth of perception.... Rodger] has prepared an admirable historical record that will be read and reread in the years ahead." Times London]"Binding Type: Paperback

More expensive and worth it
Color: Bright White Accent Light
Walk away from those 6 for $49. solar lights and buy some of these. They will cost more in the short run but will save you money in the long run. They are very well made of sturdy aluminum from the light head down to the stake. They have glass crystalline lenses. They look good on the path-modern and somewhat understated. These come in 2 varieties-a 40 lumen and a 60 lumen. I strongly recommend the 60 lumen variety. Aside from being brighter, they have a better solar cell and battery. My lights are still on at 6AM after a prior sunny day which is a new experience for me. They also have external, easily accessible on/off and light color (amber vs bright white) toggle switches. I find this feature unique and a game changer. GamaSonic has really listened to customers and created a noticeably better solar light that checks all of the boxes. I strongly endorse this solar light.

Looks nice but unreliable quality
I was so excited about these lights when they were delivered. Looked well made and illuminated brilliantly. Although, out of the four that I ordered, the first one stoped lighting up the orange light and never lite again after only a months use. The second one stopped illuminating the orange light followed by both lights not illuminating at all after a month in a half of use.

Great pathway lighting!
Color: Bright White Accent Light
I have several different types of Gama Sonic solar lights but these pathway lamps are by far my favorite. They are simple to install, look really great and are quite effective. The solar collectors work very well and the lights last (I have them set to low) through the entire night. I think this is probably the best product that Gama Sonic offers.

We really like these!!
Color: Bright White Accent Light
Easy install. Seem to be made well. They work well lighting our path. It's nice you can use your foot to push the stake in, but be careful, somehow a piece broke off of the end when we did. It's okay, we still were able to make it work, just something to be aware of. It'd be better if they made that part from metal. Otherwise they seem sturdy and were hoping they last well. Solar is a fabulous thing. Lights up our nights!!

Disappointing
Color: Bright White Accent Light
Terrible. I bought a lot of these, thinking they would be better quality, since they cost more than most of the other solar lights on Amazon. But they rarely all work -even in summer after some of the sunniest days. (Yes they are “on”). My husband bought some really cheap plastic ones, made by another brand, which average out about 2 dollars a piece and those actually work great.
