Description:
Majestic River: Mungo Park and the Exploration of the Niger is about geography, exploration, and a 2000-year-old geographical mystery. By the eighteenth century, the river Niger was to Europeans a source of wonder, potential wealth, and a two-part problem. The first would be solved by Mungo Park in 1796. Park’s death in 1806 in failing to solve the second prompted other expeditions which sought to determine the cause of his death and to trace the Niger’s course.
This book offers the first full length biography of Mungo Park for over forty years. It traces the expeditions who followed him. It documents for the first time Park’s afterlife - how and why he was commemorated long after his death. The book shows how the Niger was slowly ‘revealed,’ in texts, maps and through indigenous knowledge. The Niger problem was finally solved by exploration in 1830. But years before, it had already been solved by ‘armchair geographers’ who never set foot in Africa and who, unlike Park, did not die trying.
Park remains today one of Britains best known explorers and his classic Travels in the Interior of Africa both became a bestseller and has remained in print for over 200 years. The mystery of Park's death and the ongoing fascination with the Niger problem prompted expedition after expedition well into the 19th century. This is not simply one of the great stories of world exploration but a rich and varied account of Africa and its cultures at the time.

Manufacturing Flaw
Color: White, Size: 5FT (2 USB-C), Color: White, Size: 5FT (2 USB-C)
I removed 1 star because there is a manufacturing issue and bad packaging. This product is actually great. It's exactly what I needed. There's plenty of outlets and a good amount of USB and USB-C ports to charge additional devices without using any charging block. There's a small switch to turn off/on the entire outlet. What I love the most about this product is the rotating 360° plug. It saved me so much time and effort to organize my outlets/plugs. Its a very unique design and definitely something different on the market.
Now, here's the flaw. The flat cord are twisted and does NOT sit flushed against the walls. Once you plug it in, and line up the cords, the outlets face the walls instead of outwards towards you. It doesn't make sense. You can't install the outlet to the wall because it will never lay flat like they claim. You cant have it sit on the floor or table without it flipping over on its side because of the twisted cord. And also, the packaging wasnt so great either. I would assume a great product would come with great packaging. It should look and feel more of high quality like the product it self. Overall, its a minor flaws and doesn't change its functionality. The purpose was the 360° plug, the extended 5ft cord, and the extra USB-C outlets, so I will keep it. Besides its actually affordable and pretty much durable compared to others.

Good extension cord
Color: White, Size: 10FT (2 USB-C)
I have an upside down plug halfway up my wall that was really difficult to use and this is really been a game changer. It's flat against my wall so I'm not going to hit the cord and it it's long enough to put it in a more usable spot in the spare bedroom. The USB ports come in handy so I can keep the outlets free for my TV, lamps etc.

Nice oak corner shelf but check your measurements first
5 stars for the shelf, 3 stars for myself :-)
This is a well-made oak corner shelf that looks great where I put it. The wood is nice quality and the construction is solid.
Before you order though, do yourself a favor and check two things: 1) Make sure the size is actually big enough for what you need, and 2) Check that your corner is actually a true 90-degree angle. Turns out mine isn't perfectly square and now I'm trying to figure out how to position this thing properly.
Good product overall, just wish I'd measured more carefully before ordering.
