Description:
A philosophical exploration of J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved
classic?just in time for the December 2012 release of Peter
Jackson's new film adaptation, The Hobbit: An Unexpected
Journey
J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit is one of the best-loved
fantasy books of all time and the enchanting "prequel" to The
Lord of the Rings. With the help of some of history's great
philosophers, this book ponders a host of deep questions raised in
this timeless tale, such as: Are adventures simply "nasty,
disturbing, uncomfortable things" that "make you late for dinner,"
or are they exciting and potentially life-changing events? What
duties do friends have to one another? Should mercy be extended
even to those who deserve to die?
Gives you new insights into The Hobbit's central
characters, including Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf, Gollum, and Thorin
and their exploits, from the Shire through Mirkwood to the Lonely
Mountain
Explores key questions about The Hobbit's story and
themes, including: Was the Arkenstone really Bilbo's to give? How
should Smaug's treasure have been distributed? Did Thorin leave his
"beautiful golden harp" at Bag-End when he headed out into the
Wild? (If so, how much could we get for that on eBay?)
Draws on the insights of some of the world's deepest thinkers,
from Confucius, Plato, and Aristotle to Immanuel Kant, William
Blake, and contemporary American philosopher Thomas Nagel
From the happy halls of Elrond's Last Homely House to Gollum's
"slimy island of rock,"Ă‚Â this is a must read for longtime
Tolkien fans as well as those discovering Bilbo Baggins and his

Great for Sun Allergy Rashes!
Scent: Unscented, Scent: Unscented
I have an autoimmune disease called Sjogren’s Disease. With that, for me, comes a sensitivity to the sun in the form of sun allergy rashes. Also with that, I did a deep dive on the best sunscreens and read a lot of reviews on here. I put some of the outer sides of elbows where my sun allergy rashes were when I received it. There was slight sting, but the skin there was already slightly broken. I really love the texture of it, how it feels on my skin and that there's no white cast. It’s moisturizing, too, with no greasiness. Absorbed really well.

The best mineral sunscreen
Scent: Unscented
I’m so impressed by this sunscreen! I’ve been using mineral sunscreens for years and this blows every other one I’ve tried out of the water. It is silky smooth and applies so easily, absorbs well and doesn’t feel greasy or heavy. It doesn’t leave a white cast but it still protects very well! Of course like any sunscreen it’s only as effective as your usage, so reapplying is paramount. The unscented truly has no smell to it, which is something I appreciate. Using it for the first time, neither myself or my fair kiddos got sunburnt. It’s just all around a fantastic, clean mineral sunscreen and will be my go to from now on!

Wellness Staple for Sensitive Skin
Scent: Pear & Coconut Water, Scent: Pear & Coconut Water
I’m becoming much more intentional about the products I use on and around my body, especially while traveling, and this sunscreen ended up being one of the best things we packed for our girls trip to Mexico. My friend has extremely sensitive skin and typically reacts to a lot of sunscreens, so we wanted something mineral-based, reef safe, and more wellness-conscious overall.
We split one bottle between the two of us over about five days, and honestly it held up really well. It felt lightweight for a mineral sunscreen, blended in better than expected, and didn’t leave our skin feeling greasy or irritated in the heat. Most importantly, neither of us experienced sensitivity issues or breakouts during the trip.
I also appreciated the peace of mind of using something reef safe while spending so much time in the ocean. It’s one of those products that aligns well with a more mindful, health-focused lifestyle without sacrificing effectiveness.

Love the scent
Scent: Tropical Breeze
This sunscreen has such a great scent and is easy to apply with no white cast. Skin doesn't feel clogged or sweaty. Easy to apply and distribute.
Like that it's a zinc oxide sunscreen that is doesn't leave a white cast and has a wonderful tropical scent. Wish it came in SPF 50 or higher.
