"The indispensable umbrella, friend of pedestrians everywhere and the pride of Mary Poppins' self-styled air force, has a longer and far more distinguished lineage than is generally imagined. Known more than a thousand years before Christ, it has cast it shadow down through the ages in many forms and in an astonishing variety of roles, assuming only comparatively recently the protective guise in which it is now best known. ; The first attempt in English to provide a comprehensive history of that accessory once called "the Englishman's sceptre of Empire," this thoroughly charming book traces the earliest known uses of the umbrella in its gradual progress from Egypt and China across Asia, India, and Africa until its arrival in Europe. While defining its place in literature and the arts, Mr. Crawford also explores the umbrella's role on the battlefield, as a precursor of the modern parachute, and as an inspiration to the earliest astronauts. ; A delightful choice for a rainy day!"

Decent install power strip
Style: 20W_USB-C, Size: 6FT
I really like this search strip as I installed the inside of my RV the only problem I have with it is if you were using bulky transformer style plugs like that of a iMac laptop, charger or other big transformers, you will not be able to use the USB outlets in the center and I don’t know if that’s by design to limit current flow, but it sucks.

An absolute must for countertops used as workstations.
Style: 20W_USB-C, Size: 6FT
These were the best thing I did when we had to remodel and I added a large built in countertop. They are made well, and easy to install! They are very versatile since they are designed with both USB-A and USB-C ports along with the standard 110V plugs. I use these with my 3-D printers, laser engravers, computers, printers, and even a few coffee pots!

No issues, and no instructions.
Style: 20W_USB-C, Size: 6FT
No, you don’t need instructions, because the hole dimensions are in one of the photos. 4” x 1.73” is perfect. Plug it in and all of the ports in both that we bought worked perfectly.
