Rivers have acted as cradles for civilization and agents of disaster; a river may be a barrier or a highway, it can support trade and sediment, culture and conflict. This Very Short Introduction is a celebration of rivers in all their diversity. Geographer Nick Middleton covers a wide and eclectic range of river-based themes, from physical geography to mythology, to industrial history and literary criticism. Offering a truly global look at rivers, with examples from all continents, including Egypt, India, and Bangladesh, Middleton considers the role that rivers have played in human history from settlements and trade to warfare, and also looks at the human impact upon rivers by the construction of dams and cutting of channels.

Dainty and well-made
Color: Yellow Gold, Color: Yellow Gold
These are the perfect size for dainty stylish gold jewelry. Minimalist jewelry is really back in style and these earrings provide a great variety of options at an amazing price! I have a few pieces from Amazon essentials and I’ve been happy with every single one, they don’t turn green on my ears, and I have swam and bathed with them without any issues. I’ve had trouble with some hoops because the clasps wear out after a while, but these seem to be holding up very well. My favorite pair of the three is the chain one, it’s not the picture because I am wearing them!

Not for those with thicker earlobes
Color: Yellow Gold
This is a really cute set with perfectly sized hoops! They look so chic and can complement so many different outfits. The gold color is very nice and shiny. The only downside for me is that if you have thicker earlobes like I do these might not fit or feel very tight. Also the part that goes into your earlobe is not a regular size rod and gets thicker so if your piercing is tiny these might not be the most comfortable to wear.

Love these hoops!
Color: Yellow Gold
These hoops are so cute! They don’t bother my ears at all. I love the size of them, and they can be casual or dressed up. They come in a cute little bags that would be good for gifting them in.

3 pairs of ear rings
Color: Yellow Gold, Color: Yellow Gold
There are three pairs of ear hoops in the package, all golden color. There are in a nice blue bag. Unlike the other ear rings I have, this kind of ear hoops do not require a ring stopper, just like a small clip, which also makes it a little challenging for me to put on them. The thin stick portion through the ear is a little thick. It took me a while to get used to it. But soon I like it. Overall the ring hoops look quite pretty.

So stinking cute
Style: Vc907 Back Frame 100% Uv Protective Women's Cat Eye Sunglasses. Luxe Gifts for Her, 64.5 Mm, Color: Black
i LOVE these sunglass. I found some at TJ Maxx for 12 bucks on sale because they were cracked. Tried them on and new I wanted to find them only. They are not too big for my face, but could be form some people. I wore them every day on vacation in Mexico, and the sunshine did not bother me.
