'Ingenious. Caputo picks out a fascinating path and leads readers along it with the confidence of a practised pilot' Felipe Fernández-Armesto, author of 1492'Accessible and entertaining, as well as deeply erudite and constantly mind-expanding' Philip Ball, author of How Life WorksFrom their first appearance on Renaissance maps, linear tracks representing maritime voyages have shaped the way we see the world. But why do we depict journeys as lines, and what is their deeper meaning? Ferdinand Magellan's route to the Pacific embodied the promise of adventure and colonisation, while the scientific charts of the Royal Navy inspired others to plan conquests, navigate treacherous waters and establish settlements across the oceans.

In Tracks on the Ocean, prize-winning historian Sara Caputo charts a hidden history of the modern world through the tracks left on maps and the sea. Taking us from ancient Greek itineraries to twenty-first-century digital mapping, via the voyages of Drake and Cook, the decks of Napoleonic warships and the boiler rooms of ocean liners, Caputo reveals how marks on maps have changed the course of modernity.

Worth a try
Its a really good item and works well. I will say if you aren't a fan of exfoliation then don't use this as you will feel it rough initially but after your skin will be super soft. It takes a few days to get used to it but once you do you will be hooked. Works great on those bumps you get on your back from sweat or just irritation and helps clear that up quickly as well as helps keep those armpits and thighs nice and bright and avoid it getting dark.

Great exfoliator but can burn sensitive skin.
I like to use it for my dry patchy skin and works great but not good for sensitive skin. Also, don't let it get on your lady parts ... ouch.

Smoothes Skin and Brightens Dark Spots
I’ve been using this Koji White body scrub soap for a few weeks and love how it smooths rough bumps on my skin. The exfoliation is gentle but effective, leaving my skin feeling soft and clean. I noticed some brightening on dark spots and uneven areas, which is a huge plus. The scent is pleasant and not overpowering, making it enjoyable to use. Overall, it’s a great product for improving skin texture and tone!
