Rise of the Rocket Girls: The Women Who Propelled Us, from Missiles to the Moon to MarsThe riveting true story of the women who launched America into space. In the 1940s and 50s, when the newly minted Jet Propulsion Laboratory needed quick thinking mathematicians to calculate velocities and plot trajectories, they didn't turn to male graduates. Rather, they recruited an elite group of young women who, with only pencil, paper, and mathematical prowess, transformed rocket design, helped bring about the first American satellites, and made
The riveting true story of the women who launched America into space. In the 1940s and 50s, when the newly minted Jet Propulsion Laboratory needed quick-thinking mathematicians to calculate velocities and plot trajectories, they didn't turn to male graduates. Rather, they recruited an elite group of young women who, with only pencil, paper, and mathematical prowess, transformed rocket design, helped bring about the first American satellites, and made the exploration of the solar system possible. For the first time, Rise of the Rocket Girls tells the stories of these women -- known as "human computers" -- who broke the boundaries of both gender and science. Based on extensive research and interviews with all the living members of the team, Rise of the Rocket Girls offers a unique perspective on the role of women in science: both where we've been, and the far reaches of space to which we're heading. "If Hidden Figures has you itching to learn more about the women who worked in the space program, pick up Nathalia Holt's lively, immensely readable history, Rise of the Rocket Girls." -- Entertainment WeeklyBinding Type: Paperback

Beware - Few Instructions Fiddly Software!
Color: dark
Against my better judgement I'm going to go ahead and keep this little device since I was able to figure out how to move around in the software. So these are first impressions, but clearly, I'm not impressed so far. If you're not comfortable with pressing buttons to see what happens then I'd advise you to look elsewhere. The device is packaged nicely, and when plugged into power, it popped right on and started recording. I know the product description says it comes with a 64 gb TF (mico-SD) card but the device's specs say it's only capable of seeing 32 gb. To get the card in and out of the device (because the only way to save videos is to remove it from the camera, put it into a card reader and plug that into your PC, laptop, or smartphone) both the power cable and the rear facing camera cables have to be unplugged. The instructions say it comes with a suction cup mount...it does not. You have to fiddle with a sticky pad to attach to your windshield, pull the cover off the other side and attach the camera to the sticky pad. Make sure the camera is placed where you want it because you only get one shot apparently. We'll see how it does, the picture appears clear on its little screen and it plays videos back quickly, it's just extremely fiddly moving around with the buttons and there are NO instructions how to get to those functions. But, it is what it is, and you get what you pay for...the jury's still out on it's functionality.

Better Than Manscape
Color: Gold ＆black
This little trimmer is incredible. I have had a Manscape for a few years now, but it nipped me and the battery life was garbage. However, this bad boy hasn't cut me once, it charges quick, and lasts forever. My wife and I will both use it back to back and has no issues. She uses it in the shower and it holds up. It's comfortable, doesn't over heat, and works great. Again... I think it's way better than manscape.

Highly recommended
Color: Bright Purple
I recently purchased the OLOV Electric Body Hair Trimmer and I give it a full 5 stars! This isn’t my first time buying from OLOV—my initial purchase was for myself, and I’ve been impressed with its quality and performance. This time, I bought one for my wife, and she absolutely loves it! It’s easy to use, reliable, and delivers excellent results. Highly recommend this trimmer for anyone looking for a dependable grooming tool.

Nice shaver and is easy to use.
Color: Gold ＆black
The olov electric body hair trimmer does a good job shaving the arms and legs but you have to be careful when shaving the private area . You have to stretch the skin on the privates as you shave between the inner thigh it will nick the skin on the scrotum.The olove is narrow enough to shave the privates.
