I May Be Some Time: Ice and the English ImaginationFrancis Spufford explores the British obsession with polar exploration in a book that Jan Morris, writing in The Times, called, "A truly majestic work of scholarship, thought and literary imagination . . ." The title, a last quote from one explorer to his party as he left their tent never to return, embodies the danger and mystery that fueled the romantic allure of the poles and, subsequently, the British imagination.

Francis Spufford explores the British obsession with polar exploration in a book that Jan Morris, writing in The Times, called, "A truly majestic work of scholarship, thought and literary imagination . . ." The title, a last quote from one explorer to his party as he left their tent never to return, embodies the danger and mystery that fueled the romantic allure of the poles and, subsequently, the British imagination. Far from being a conventional history of polar exploration, I May Be Some Time attempts to understand what was going on in the minds of the polar explorers as they headed toward destinies like Terra Nova. Serving up a heady brew of Captain Perry, Jane Eyre, gastronomic obsessions with iced desserts, and the daily lives of Eskimos, Spufford treats the reader to one of the most satisfying and imaginative contemporary works dealing with exploration and human need.Binding Type: Paperback

Small Business Must-Have: NIIMBOT B1 Label Tape Review
Size: 1.97'' x 1.18''-White, Color: White
As a small business owner, organization is everything, and the NIIMBOT B1 Label Tape (B21 White) has been a total game-changer for pricing my products! This label tape works seamlessly with my NIIMBOT printer, producing crisp, clear labels that look professional and polished. The adhesive is strong enough to stay put on different surfaces, yet it removes cleanly when needed—perfect for pricing tags, inventory management, and packaging. Plus, the bright white background ensures that every label is easy to read, making my products look even more put-together!
What I love most is how hassle-free this label tape is to use. It loads effortlessly into the printer, prints smoothly without smudging, and holds up beautifully, even in different environments. Whether I’m labeling handmade goods, organizing supplies, or prepping for a market event, these labels make the process so much easier. If you’re a small business owner looking for reliable, high-quality labeling, the NIIMBOT B1 Label Tape is a must-have for keeping things neat, professional, and efficient!

The only labels I buy again and again.
Size: 1.97'' x 1.18''-White, Color: White
The only labels I use for my thermal printer. Print quality is always perfect. The quality of the sticker is great! Super easy to use just drop them in. Easy to store and organize. Not the cheapest but they don’t stick to my products when removing but they stay on nicely until removal is needed.
