Martius. The Book of PalmsAm 15. Dezember 1868 wurde Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius (1794 1868), Professor fr Botanik an der Universitt Mnchen und Direktor des Botanischen Gartens, in einem mit frischen Palmblttern bedeckten Sarg zu Grabe getragen eine unverkennbare Referenz an seine bahnbrechende Historia naturalis palmarum: opus tripartitum (Naturgeschichte der Palmen: ein Werk in drei Bnden), die zwischen 1823 und 1853 erschienen war.

Am 15. Dezember 1868 wurde Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius (1794-1868), Professor für Botanik an der Universität München und Direktor des Botanischen Gartens, in einem mit frischen Palmblättern bedeckten Sarg zu Grabe getragen - eine unverkennbare Referenz an seine bahnbrechende Historia naturalis palmarum: opus tripartitum (Naturgeschichte der Palmen: ein Werk in drei Bänden), die zwischen 1823 und 1853 erschienen war. Diese enzyklopädische Schatzkammer barg seinerzeit die Summe des menschlichen Wissens über Palmen und enthielt 240 erlesene Farblithografien, darunter botanische Schnitte und Gesamtansichten von Palmenhabitaten.Grundlage dieser umfassenden Folio-Ausgabe war Martius' gemeinsame Expedition mit dem Zoologen Johann Baptist von Spix nach Brasilien und Peru, die von König Maximilian I. von Bayern finanziert wurde und auf der neben der Naturgeschichte auch die dortigen Indianerstämme erforscht werden sollten. Zwischen 1817 und 1820 legten beide Forscher sammelnd und zeichnend mehr als 2250 Kilometer innerhalb des Amazonasbeckens zurück, der weltweit artenreichsten Palmenregion. Nach ihrer Rückkehr wurden beide in den Ritterstand erhoben und erhielten eine lebenslange Pension. Martius legte die Grundlagen für die moderne Systematik der Palmen, erstellte die ersten Karten über ihre Verbreitung, beschrieb sämtliche Palmenarten Brasiliens und präsentierte einen kritischen Vergleich aller bekannten Gattungen der Palmenfamilie. Abgesehen von seinen eigenen Belegen und Notizen ließ Martius sich ebenfalls über die Erkenntnisse anderer aus. Martius' Werk ist insofern ungewöhnlich, als es Querschnitte präsentiert und so den inneren Aufbau der mächtigen Bäume verständlich macht, von dem Mitteleuropäer sonst kaum eine präzise Vorstellung hätten gewinnen können. Einen besonderen Reiz bilden in ihrer schlichten und eleganten Schönheit die farbigen Landschaften mit diversen - oftmals einzeln stehenden - Palmen. Dieses berühmte Opus ist ein unerreichter Meilenstein der botanischen Illustration und Taxonomie.

My Fave Sunscreen
Sun protection factor: 50 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2)
I love this sunscreen. I bike ride a lot in the summer and I always bring sunscreen with me because I sweat and need to reapply. If I use a cream, my hands end up wet or greasy and I'm holding the handlbars, etc. So, using a spray is way better for me. I loooooooove the smell of this stuff. It smells of summer! The spray makes it easy to get my back while at the beach and while it's not insanely waterproof, it's certainly water resistant and lasts a long time. I like the SPF 50, because less isn't enough for me. They say going higher than 50 isn't any better, so I stick with 50 as my "go to." Buying the duo, as sold here, makes it a good value. Buying this product at a local drug store would cost twice as much. I easily go through both cans in a single summer.

IT WORKS
Style: SPF 50
I used this on my trip to Jamaica and it worked great. I was in the sun for hours and it kept me from getting any lines. I did reapply after going in the water and when I was feeling really hot. However, I did get burned on the top of my feet as the sand was all over them so I couldn't put sunscreen on them. Lesson learned put lots of sunscreen on your feet prior to arriving to the beach. It does stay on slightly when you go in water. You will see a faint white cast on your skin, but nothing extremely noticeable. Otherwise it rubs in really well and there is no white cast, (only after you go in water will you notice it slightly). If your main purpose is to protect your skin, then this is your friend. It's reef safe and does have safer active ingredients that I feel more comfortable using on my skin. Very happy. I used about 3/4 of the bottle for 3 days of use, this includes reapply applications. So if you have a family you may need to take more than one bottle for a long trip and it's a bit more pricey, but better ingredients typically do cost more.

Bought 2nd time
Style: SPF 30
I am loyal to the Hawaiian Tropic brand because they have a wonderful scent. Not like the typical sunscreen smell, but fragrant and subtle. This sunscreen does keep my skin protected and I use it almost everyday living in sunny Las Vegas. Doesn't leave a white film and blends into my skin. It is matte, doesn't feel oily. I prefer the 30 SPF for daily use. This is my second purchase and just want a smaller size for travel. But I'll just squirt some into an empty travel sized bottle because I enjoy it for my everyday lotion.

One of my favorites because it doesn't sting my eyes
Style: SPF 50
This was my first time purchasing this from Amazon though I've bought this product elsewhere before. This is a sunscreen I come back to because I can use it on my body and it works relatively well on my face as well. It is hydrating and can give a matte-ish looking finish although on my face I'd say it leaves more of a dewy look because I put moisturizer on prior to applying. I've seen a few reviews mention there is pilling when applying to the face and while I've had that happen it's normally only during the day when I reapply. I think that first thing in the morning I don't really have that issue because of the moisturizer I put on before- I let the moisturizer soak in a bit before going in with the sunscreen. My favorite thing about this sunscreen is that it doesn't sting my eyes, I've worn it out on 90+ SoCal heat and it has not stung my eyes- there's been numerous sunscreen I like on my face but don't repurchase because even mid-80"s heat causes them to run and both sting and blur my vision. As for my giving this a 4 rather than a 5 it is because it leaves a mild white cast after I apply it norming and reapplying throughout the day. The mild white cast does eventually go away but it does take some time, though that is the one downsides I am glad that I'm at least not forced to sport a ghost-ish face all day. In all honestly, the cast is only mild when compared to others like the New "Sheer" Bluelizard SPF 50 face lotion, among others. I'm a little jealous of others who say they don't have a white cast at all but different products react differently with different people so I know it might just be a "me thing." Overall this is one of the sheer and non-tinted sunscreens I am happiest with and will repurchase again as needed unless I stumble onto that unicorn 50 broad spectrum SPF, cast free, no eye burning/ irritating, and reasonably priced and sized sunscreen =)
