To many people, the construction of a sundial implies laborious mathematical calculations and a knowledge of astronomy. Nothing could be farther from the truth. This fascinating handbook, used in conjunction with ordinary tools and materials found around the home, makes it easy to design and construct a sundial on almost any surface and in virtually any position.
Introductory chapters offer a wealth of information on the sundial's development from ancient times to the present, why the sundial tells time, how to design and make a dial, and more. These chapters are followed by full instructions on how to construct the hour lines for many kinds of sundials, by the graphic or geometric method. The use of this method doesn't require a knowledge of mathematics or astronomy. It simplicity and accuracy, together with the ease and quickness of delineation, make it very practical. Readers will also find fascinating chapters on dial furniture, portable sundials, constructing a heliochronometer (a highly precise solar timekeeper), sundial classification, and other topics.
Accompanying the text are 150 well-chosen illustrations, many published for the first time. They depict scale models, as well as a moon dial, a cathedral dial, and other actual dials from around the world, including the world's largest, in Jaipur, India. If you've ever wanted to build your own sundial, or if you simply want to know more about these ancient timepieces that can show the time of day as accurately as many clocks, this clearly written, easy-to-follow guide is "the best book available." -- Commonweal.

Part of my daily routine
Style: Original, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 2)
These wipes are the BEST for removing makeup. I have tried others, but these are the perfect product for 1) effective cleansing; 2) convenience; and 3) value.

I'm been using this make up remover for years!
Style: Original, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 2)
I’ve been using Neutrogena Makeup Remover for a while now, and it does an amazing job at removing makeup quickly and easily. It takes off everything—even waterproof mascara—without needing to rub too hard. What I really like is how gentle it feels on my skin. It doesn’t leave any irritation or greasy residue, and my face feels clean and refreshed after using it. It’s also super convenient, especially the wipes they’re perfect for travel or those nights when you’re too tired for a full routine. The only downside is that the wipes can dry out if the package isn’t sealed properly, so make sure to close it tightly. Overall, a reliable and effective makeup remover that I always keep on hand!

Not good for sensitive skin
Style: Original, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 2)
Not great for sensitive skin. But great for cleaning brushes or removing makeup if you have nothing else. Left my sensitive skin burning.

Gentle on my skin, tough at removing makeup.
Style: Original, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 2)
I've tried many different kinds of makeup remover wipes in my day, but I've never used these Neutrogena ones. As I was looking for some wipes to try out (as I'd recently used up all the ones I had), I decided to ordered the Neutrogena ones. These packs came very well presented, and were in excellent condition. I appreciate that the wipes were wrapped in a plastic-type wrap, which protected them from the elements. The wipes feel so soft and gentle on my skin; each cloth wipe feels durable, and is great at removing stuck-on makeup. These not only remove makeup very well, but they leave my skin feeling soft and hydrated. I've not had any issues with irritations while using on my skin, and there's also no fragrance to the wipes (which may be of some importance to certain people). I love that these wipes are made from plant-based materials, and they are compostable. The cloths feel durable yet lightweight, and have plenty of essence on each wipe. Additionally, these packs of wipes are convenient got on-the-go purposes. I'm really happy with these Neutrogena makeup remover wipes, and feel they're of excellent quality and value. I feel these are a good value because this came with 2 packs (each with 25 wipes), and one wipe can do a lot. At the time of my purchase (and review), these wipes were listed at around $7.98; I personally think this is a very nice deal, and would definitely consider ordering them again. I also would highly recommend these to others.
