Beyond FateMany people today are afflicted with a sense that they cannot change things for the better. They feel helpless, constrained, caught, in a word, fatalistic. Beyond Fate examines why.

Many people today are afflicted with a sense that they cannot change things for the better. They feel helpless, constrained, caught, in a word, fatalistic. Beyond Fate examines why. In her characteristically lively prose, Margaret Visser investigates what fate means to us, and where the propensity to believe in it and accept it comes from. She takes an ancient metaphor where time is "seen" and spoken of as though it were space and examines how this way of picturing reality can be a useful tool to think with - or, on the other hand, how it may lead people into disastrous misunderstandings. By observing how fatalism expresses itself in one's daily life, in everything from table manners to shopping to sport, the book proposes ways to limit its influence. Beyond Fate provides a timely and provocative perspective on modern life, both personal and social.Binding Type: Paperback

Spray Cap doesn’t work
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 15
Very annoyed- first use and the cap is stuck and won’t spray unless you fiddle around with it and twist it back and forth a few times in and out of the locked position and even then you have to mash down on the button SUPER hard for it to spray. Super weird, never had this issue with any spray product before. Very annoying and nearly impossible to spray yourself with all it takes to get it to work!

Bottle opens/sprays fine - READ
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 15
For those of you who said the bottle does not spray-- look closely on the top of the sprayer nozzle THERE IS the word LOCK with an arrow by it. (It needs to be clearer.) IT WORKS if you turn in the direction of the arrow half way around. IT WON'T OPEN UNLESS YOU TURN the top in THE DIRECTION OF THE ARROW so it unlocks. You can lock it again so it won't leak - a nice feature. I love the product and the clean Alba brand. Recommend.

Bad product. Do not buy!
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 15
No matter what I do to unlock the can, it simply will not work. I also bought the 30 SPF pack of two at the same time. They also do not work. Now, I have 3 cans of sunscreen that I cannot use because they will not spray and I can't even return them.
Check the return policy and the reviews! I did not and now I'm stuck with expensive trash.
This shouldn't be that hard. I've bought other brands that spray just fine. It's a problem specific to alba.

Stopped spraying
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 15
I bought 2 bottles for an upcoming vacation and I’ve used this brand in the past. One of my bottles only sprayed once and then stopped. I had to throw away the entire bottle because I missed the return date.
