Sea Power: The History and Geopolitics of the World's OceansFrom one of the most admired admirals of his generation and the only admiral to serve as Supreme Allied Commander at NATO comes a remarkable voyage through all of the world's most important bodies of water, providing the story of naval power as a driver of human history and a crucial element in our current geopolitical path.

From one of the most admired admirals of his generation--and the only admiral to serve as Supreme Allied Commander at NATO--comes a remarkable voyage through all of the world's most important bodies of water, providing the story of naval power as a driver of human history and a crucial element in our current geopolitical path.

From the time of the Greeks and the Persians clashing in the Mediterranean, sea power has determined world power. To an extent that is often underappreciated, it still does. No one understands this better than Admiral Jim Stavridis. In Sea Power, Admiral Stavridis takes us with him on a tour of the world's oceans from the admiral's chair, showing us how the geography of the oceans has shaped the destiny of nations, and how naval power has in a real sense made the world we live in today, and will shape the world we live in tomorrow.

Not least, Sea Power is marvelous naval history, giving us fresh insight into great naval engagements from the battles of Salamis and Lepanto through to Trafalgar, the Battle of the Atlantic, and submarine conflicts of the Cold War. It is also a keen-eyed reckoning with the likely sites of our next major naval conflicts, particularly the Arctic Ocean, Eastern Mediterranean, and the South China Sea. Finally, Sea Power steps back to take a holistic view of the plagues to our oceans that are best seen that way, from piracy to pollution.

When most of us look at a globe, we focus on the shape of the of the seven continents. Admiral Stavridis sees the shapes of the seven seas. After reading Sea Power, you will too. Not since Alfred Thayer Mahan's legendary The Influence of Sea Power upon History have we had such a powerful reckoning with this vital subject.

Stunning Gentleman's Watch
Color: Grey
This is my second Tissot watch. It's quite stunning in person. The online photos don't do it justice. It has the look and feel of a much more expensive gentleman's watch which makes this purchase a great bargain. Tissot is a great reliable Swiss made watch brand. My first Tissot watch which is probably more than 20 years old still runs great. Very pleased with this purchase.

Good Tissot Watch
Color: Grey
Arrived on time, in its original box, include a 2 year international warranty, into the box include a book with the Tissot brand history in Switzerland. Algo a second book with a whole catalog of Tissot watches men and women. The watch looks better when you put in on your wrist. The “naval” blue really gives the clock a classy look. The stainless steel workmanship is really good, the metal is bright and perfectly polished. The metal wristband quality is very good, did not have any problem to adjust the size , I went to my preferred clock workshop for this job, they extracted a few pieces of the band to fit to my small wrist size. Have to get used to the butterfly latch, but after a few days, now I learned to open and close it without any effort. The clock it’s very accurate, I’ve been using my Tissot for near a month and it just increased a few seconds per week. I do the setup and check accuracy with my pc clock. In short, It”s a good value watch, nice, good looking, accurate.

Excellent Family Passport Holder – Spacious, Secure, and Stylish!
Color: Black Wallet, Color: Black Wallet
I bought this passport holder for my family of five, and it has exceeded my expectations! It easily fits all five of our passports with room to spare — I’m confident it could hold a sixth passport comfortably. The layout is very well thought out, with six card slots, one clear ID slot, and a mesh zippered coin pouch that’s perfect for small items. There are also two roomy zippered compartments inside that could hold documents, tickets, or even some cash. I love the added features — an exterior slip pocket, a zippered pocket on the outside, and even a spot for a pen (which comes in surprisingly handy when traveling). The wristlet strap is a great bonus, making it easy to carry, and the main zipper closure keeps everything secure. The material feels durable and nicer than I expected for the price. It looks sleek, holds everything we need for travel, and keeps us organized on the go. I highly recommend this passport holder for anyone traveling with a family — it’s practical, well made, and very affordable.

Great wallet
Color: Black Wallet
These are great wallets; the size is a little big, they are roomy and not bulky. I do get a lot of compliments on the appearance of the style because of the size they are thinner than a bulky leather wallet and your stuff isn't scrunched up inside which makes it easier to locate. Love the look with the different colors and it seems to be a plus because of the card protector. I know they advertise as a vacation wallet but the comfort of the security and with the zipper closure makes it great for everyday use.
