Named one of the 10 Best Books of 2019 by the New York Times Book Review - A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2019 - A Kirkus Best Book of 2019

"Damrosch brings the Club's redoubtable personalities--the brilliant minds, the jousting wits, the tender camaraderie--to vivid life."--New York Times Book Review

"Magnificently entertaining."--Washington Post

In 1763, the painter Joshua Reynolds proposed to his friend Samuel Johnson that they invite a few friends to join them every Friday at the Turk's Head Tavern in London to dine, drink, and talk until midnight. Eventually the group came to include among its members Edmund Burke, Adam Smith, Edward Gibbon, and James Boswell. It was known simply as "the Club."

In this captivating book, Leo Damrosch brings alive a brilliant, competitive, and eccentric cast of characters. With the friendship of the "odd couple" Samuel Johnson and James Boswell at the heart of his narrative, Damrosch conjures up the precarious, exciting, and often brutal world of late eighteenth-century Britain. This is the story of an extraordinary group of people whose ideas helped to shape their age, and our own.

A must have for superior sun protection!
Size: 6.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 6.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Neutrogena Beach Defense SPF 50 is an absolute game-changer when it comes to sun protection. Whether you're relaxing at the beach, swimming, or enjoying an outdoor adventure, this sunscreen provides broad-spectrum protection that effectively shields the skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. One of its standout features is its lightweight texture, it glides effortlessly onto the skin without feeling greasy or heavy. Unlike some sunscreens that leave a sticky residue, Beach Defense absorbs quickly and smoothly, making it ideal for both face and body application. Another major plus? Water resistance! This formula stays put, even after swimming or sweating, ensuring continuous protection throughout the day. And despite its strong defense against the sun, it feels refreshing and comfortable on the skin, making reapplication a breeze. I used it during a vacation in the Dominican Republic, and me and my family enjoyed it. My 5 years old girl has been protected from the sun all the time. If you're looking for reliable, effective, and easy-to-use sun protection, this sunscreen is an excellent choice. Highly recommended! ☀️👌

Lightweight glowing hydrating sunscreen
really love how this sunscreen feels so light and smooth on my skin without leaving any white cast at all. It blends in quickly and gives a natural, hydrated glow skin with hyaluronic acid and collagen. My skin feels moisturized all day, and it doesn’t get oily or greasy even after hours. It’s gentle enough for my sensitive skin and hasn’t caused any irritation or breakouts. it’s a great everyday sunscreen that keeps my skin protected and fresh.

Lightweight Sunscreen with Great Hydration
This sunscreen feels lightweight on the skin and blends in nicely without leaving a heavy or greasy feeling. I like that it gives SPF 50 protection while also adding hydration, so it works well as part of a daily skincare routine. It leaves the skin feeling soft and comfortable. The formula sits nicely under makeup or can be worn alone for a natural look. It absorbs well and does not feel sticky, which makes it easy to reapply when needed. A great option for everyday sun protection with added moisture.
