A Shelf Awareness Reviewer's Top Pick of 2011 One of the most important and highly-praised books of 2011, Karl Marlantes's What It Is Like to Go to War is set to become just as much of a classic as his epic novel Matterhorn. In What It Is Like to Go to War, Marlantes takes a deeply personal and candid look at the experience and ordeal of combat, critically examining how we might better prepare our young soldiers for war. War is as old as humankind, but in the past, warriors were prepared for battle by ritual, religion, and literature--which also helped bring them home. In a compelling narrative, Marlantes weaves riveting accounts of his combat experiences with thoughtful analysis, self-examination, and his readings--from Homer to the Mahabharata to Jung. He makes it clear just how poorly prepared our nineteen-year-old warriors--mainly men but increasingly women--are for the psychological and spiritual aspects of their journey.

Amazing how fast it goes on without the white look!
This stuff is amazing!!
I wear baby sunscreen because I rub my eyes a lot, but most of it takes forever to rub in and not look white.
This rubs in immediately like any other sunscreen, and it doesn’t burn my eyes at all, not even when I scratch my face and then rub my eyes.
So it’s great for small children too, not just 75 yr old ones!

Used for years
I have used this sunscreen since my kids were toddlers. I don’t find it sticky and it turns clear pretty fast. I don’t typically need to reapply on them more than once.

Works great for the whole familiy
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: Lotion Twin Pack
We live in the desert so with the constant sun exposure, our family needs a reliable sunscreen that is affordable, effective and gentle on skin. This product does all that. It has no fragrance and we've had no skin reactions or irritation. It does leave a white cast, which is to be expected given the active ingredients. We are fine with it...it helps show where it's been applied. We use it a lot for pool days so the price point is good to stay stocked up. Don't let the "kids" label fool you...if it works for kiddos, it works for adults too!

Safe, Strong Sun Protection for Little Ones!
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: Lotion Twin Pack
Banana Boat 100% Mineral Kids Sunscreen has become our go-to for sunny days! I love that it’s made with natural, mineral-based ingredients and doesn’t have all the harsh chemicals. It goes on smoothly for a mineral sunscreen—yes, there’s a bit of a white cast at first, but it rubs in nicely and gives me peace of mind knowing my kids are protected with a gentle, effective formula.
We’ve used it at the beach, playground, and just running around outside, and it holds up really well. No irritation, no breakouts, and best of all—no sunburns! It’s also water-resistant, which is perfect for active little ones. I’m so glad to have found a sunscreen that checks all the boxes for safety, protection, and reliability.
