A fascinating collection of medieval Arabic travel writing in an important new translationBetween the ninth and fourteenth centuries, Arab explorers journeyed widely and frequently into the far north, crossing territories that now include Russia, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan. Ibn Fadla-n's chronicles of his travels are one of the most important documents from the period, and this illuminating new translation offers insight into the world of the Arab geographers and the medieval lands of the far north. Based on an expedition to the upper Volga River in 922 AD, Ibn Fadla-n and the Land of Darkness provides a rare and valuable glimpse of Viking customs, dress, table manners, religion, and sexual practices, including the only eyewitness account ever written of a Viking ship cremation.

Get Yourself A Bright White Smile
Can't belive how great this works. You can actually see the staining it removes when you expel to rinse. A bit messy to use all be it being a powder. The taste isn't bad. I believe this works better than the whitening stripe, which to me are difficult to use. Gentle on your gums and teeth. I do not recommend and do not believe the manufacture does either to use on a daily basis. A bit pricey but so are the whitening strips. For a bright white smile I recommend this product.

Easy to Use and No Bad Taste
I really like this whitening powder, it’s easy to use and fits nicely into my routine. It works well as an alternative to regular toothpaste, and the process feels simple and quick.
One of the best things is that there’s no bad taste. It has a mild, clean flavor that makes it comfortable to use daily, even if you’re sensitive to strong or overpowering mint products.
After using it consistently, it seems to be working my teeth look a bit brighter, and it feels gentle enough for sensitive teeth without causing discomfort.
Minor note: Since it’s a powder, it can feel a little different at first compared to traditional toothpaste, but it’s easy to get used to.
Overall, this is a convenient and gentle whitening option that’s easy to stick with. A great choice if you want something effective without harsh taste or sensitivity.
