Absorbing.artfully narrat es] a possible course of events in the expedition's demise, based on the one official note and bits of debris (including evidence of cannibalism) found by searchers sent to look for Franklin in the 1850s. Adventure readers will flock to this fine regaling of the enduring mystery surrounding the best-known disaster in Arctic exploration.--Booklist

""A great Victorian adventure story rediscovered and re-presented for a more enquiring time.""--The Scotsman

""A vivid, sometimes harrowing chronicle of miscalculation and overweening Victorian pride in untried technology.a work of great compassion.""--The Australian

It has been called the greatest disaster in the history of polar exploration. Led by Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin, two state-of-the-art ships and 128 hand-picked men----the best and the brightest of the British empire----sailed from Greenland on July 12, 1845 in search of the elusive Northwest Passage. Fourteen days later, they were spotted for the last time by two whalers in Baffin Bay. What happened to these ships----and to the 129 men on board----has remained one of the most enduring mysteries in the annals of exploration. Drawing upon original research, Scott Cookman provides an unforgettable account of the ill-fated Franklin expedition, vividly reconstructing the lives of those touched by the voyage and its disaster. But, more importantly, he suggests a human culprit and presents a terrifying new explanation for what triggered the deaths of Franklin and all 128 of his men. This is a remarkable and shocking historical account of true-life suspense and intrigue.

This lotion feels so good on my skin and the smell is perfume, but soft. I love the smell! If you are sensitive to perfumes, this may not be for you.

A lightweight lotion with a pleasant scent
Scent: Mellow Coconut, Size: 13.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is a lightweight lotion that absorbs well and leaves my skin silky soft for several hours afterwards. The scent is pretty and 'mellow', just like the name says, and it lasts almost as long as the moisturized feeling. Some fragrances give me a headache, but this one doesn’t, and it’s light enough that other people don’t notice it until they get close to me. The one withheld star is for the lack of upfront transparency about the ingredients. I am allergic to several chemicals that are common in skincare products, so it's very important to me to be able to see what I'm buying before I spend money on a personal care product that can’t be returned, and I know I’m far from the only person who has this problem. This is the complete list of ingredients, as shown on the back of the box: Water, Glycerin, Isopropyl Myristate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl Alcohol, 1,2-Hexanediol, C14-22 Alcohols, Dimethicone, Fragrance, Ceramide NP, Saccharomyces/Rice Ferment Filtrate, Sodium DNA, Dipropylene Glycol, Glyceryl Stearate, Sorbitan Olivate, C12-20 Alkyl Glucoside, Butylene Glycol, Cetearyl Olivate, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Cetyl Palmitate, Acrylates/ C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Tromethamine, Sorbitan Palmitate, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Isopropyl Palmitate, Panthenol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract, Disodium EDTA, Pentylene Glycol, Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate, Glucose, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Propylene Glycol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Benzyl Salicylate, Coumarin, Linalool

Great scent, hydrating, not greasy or sticky.
Scent: Mellow Coconut, Size: 13.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This Karl&Hans Moisturizing Body Lotion is a good value at approx $23 on Amazon right now. This is a large 390 ml bottle of lotion. Thankfully it comes with a pump that worked well and made it convenient to use. I especially used it a lot after washing my hands. It's a lightweight lotion with a delicious coconut, musky scent. I was immediately interested in this because of the PDRN and ceramide complex. My skin is always dry and needs support, and this lotion left it soft, soothed, and hydrated. This absorbed quickly, and I didn't notice any lingering issues of feeling greasy or sticky.
