Thousands of years ago, Herodotus and Plutarch immortalized Spartan society in their histories; but today, little is left of the ancient city or the social structure of this momentous culture. One of the few antiquarian marks of the civilization that has survived lies scores of miles away from Sparta, at a narrow Greek mountain pass called Thermopylae. It was there that three hundred of Sparta's finest warriors held back the invading millions of the Persian empire and valiantly gave their lives in the selfless service of democracy and freedom. A simple engraved stone marks their burial ground. Inspired by this stone and intrigued by the lore of Sparta, author Steven Pressfield has brilliantly combined scholarship with storytelling. Narrated by the sole survivor of the epic battle--a squire in the Spartan heavy infantry--Gates of Fire is a mesmerizing depiction of one man's indoctrination into the Spartan way of life and death, and of the legendary men and women who gave the culture an immortal gravity. Culminating in the electrifying and horrifying epic battle, Gates of Fire weaves history, mystery, and heartbreaking romance into a literary page-turner that brings the Homeric tradition into the twenty-first century.Binding Type: Hardcover

Perfect UV Protection and Comfort for Outdoor Activities
Color: Mist Green, Size: Medium
I recently purchased this UV long sleeve shirt for outdoor activities, and I'm extremely satisfied with my choice. It offers excellent UV protection with a UPF rating of 50+, keeping me safe while at my sons soccer game. The lightweight, breathable fabric kept me cool and comfortable, and its moisture-wicking properties worked well. The fit is was a little flowy. While it is slightly pricier than other options, the quality and performance make it worth the investment. I highly recommend this shirt for anyone seeking a stylish and functional solution for outdoor adventures!

Ideal fabric, great fit.
Color: Light Pink, Size: Medium
Loose fitting back is ideal for hiking, walking and other outdoor activities. The fabric is breathable - great for working out. Even though the back if loose fitting, the front and boatneck fit well.

Prefect coverage and cooling.
I have to have sun protection and I live in the south. This is perfect for my daily walks. Covers what I don’t want to put sun screen on, the loose fit hides tummy area and loose in back. Liked it so much, I just ordered two more. Soft, silky, and Very cooling and lightweight.

Weird spot on it.
Color: Black, Size: Large
I kind of like this top, especially the feel of it. Unfortunately, it has an odd stain on the front. Looks like a heat mark from being pressed? I hope it comes out because I threw the bag away. If it does come out I'll take down this review.
