"Fascinating, no matter where you place yourself on the ideological spectrum."--Wired

Now in paperback, a stunning breakdown of the modern military-industrial complex--an omnipresent, hidden-in-plain-sight system of systems that penetrates all our lives.

From iPods to Starbucks to Oakley sunglasses, historian Nick Turse explores the Pentagon's little-noticed contacts (and contracts) with the products and companies that now form the fabric of America. He investigates the remarkable range of military incursions into the civilian world: the Pentagon's collaborations with Hollywood filmmakers; its outlandish schemes to weaponize the wild kingdom; its joint ventures with Marvel Comics and NASCAR. Similarly disturbing is the way in which the military, desperate for fresh recruits, has tapped into the "culture of cool" by making "friends" on MySpace.

A striking vision of this brave new world of remote-controlled rats and super-soldiers who need no sleep, The Complex will change our understanding of the militarization of America. We are a long way from Eisenhower's military-industrial complex: this is the essential book for understanding its twenty-first-century progeny.

Pretty lightweight
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Although it still leaves a little bit of a shine ( more of a dewy look), there is definitely not that much of a greasy feel which really helps me to keep being consistent with using sunscreen because my big issue with using other sunscreens is that they're too greasy feeling and not lightweight and leave too much of a shine on my already oily face.

Not for sensitive skin
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have combination skin, prone to acne, and sensitive skin. Even though this is labeled as non-comedogenic and best suited for oily skin, I still experienced acne because the consistency of the sunscreen is really thick. It makes it hard to blend (really hard) and upsets my skin. It also smells a lot like alcohol, more so than most sunscreens, even those from this brand. I bet it's good for some skins but it simply wasn't for me.

Finally!
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have been looking for a sunscreen that does not breaks me out or irritate my eyes and this was perfect. I wash my face in the morning and I put this sunscreen on. I don't need to use moisturizer since this is enough. It does leave my skin glowy which I like but not greasy. I notice even my dark spots are fading but because I do use this everyday. My skin is tan and it does not leave a white cast. I love it. If you have acne prone skin, oily and sensitive give this a try.

Finally! An SPF Hubby will wear!
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've bought my husband at least a dozen SPFs--everything from drugstore to premium brands--and he won't wear any of them. He's 64 years old with oily, extremely sensitive skin (rosacea and dermatitis), and a tendency to sweat a lot in the summer heat, as he's very active. As for SPF, he hates the white cast, how heavy it feels on his skin, and how his eyes burn when he sweats and the SPF gets in them. But I keep trying. Since Eucerin was the only SPF I was able to tolerate after radiation, I tried this one for him. It's the only one he's liked. There's some white cast initially but it settles quickly. He says the lotion doesn't feel heavy, hasn't caused any irritation or breakouts, and doesn't bother his eyes either. He actually wears this one!!! I'm thrilled! Thank you, Eucerin!
