"One could not anticipate this majesty and drama . . . Illuminations is riveting, following von Bingen through . . . to emerge as one of the significant voices of the 12th century . . . Unforgettable." --January Magazine

One of the most extraordinary women of the Middle Ages, Hildegard von Bingen--Benedictine abbess, healer, composer, saint--experienced mystic visions from a very young age. Offered by her noble family to the Church at the age of eight, she lived for years in forced silence. But through the study of books and herbs, through music and the kinship of her sisters, Hildegard found her way from a life of submission to a calling that celebrated the divine glories all around us. In this brilliantly researched and insightful novel, Mary Sharratt offers a deeply moving portrait of a woman willing to risk everything for what she believed, a triumphant exploration of the life she might well have lived.

"Gripping . . . Like Ann Patchett's Bel Canto, Illuminations] is primarily about relationships forged under pressure." --Publishers Weekly

"Masterful."--Saint Paul Pioneer Press

Fly back / duel time zone / under 200 bucks!!!!!
Color: Stainless Steel, Color: Stainless Steel
Incredible people don’t realize Timex is American history. It’s heavy and it’s a flyback chronograph with a dual time., that’s an expensive complication on any other watch. This would be thousands , it’s almost like a fidget toy lol , you have six hands that are working you can dual time on the chronograph as it flies back and have dual time zones for the money. It’s a no-brainer.

Like the best military items: does exactly what it's used for:
Color: Black
Even better than the infantry watch I used in the USAF 50 years ago. It has 12/24 hour time and day/date; other models have additional features. It's rugged and easy to read - a real watch face, NOT digital ! ... AND inexpensive too. BTW it has a real watch band made to be used in the elements (e.g. weather, work).

Infantry 5ATM Waterproof Mens Military Tactical Field Watch, Date & Day 12/24Hr-
Color: Silver
So I almost never write reviews- anywhere. This is an exception & I'm not paid or reimbursed- just impressed. This watch presents a really good price to value ratio. My infantry watch looks great and is very functional. I put a NATO strap on it because I tend to be tough with watches, though the one it arrived with is very nice looking and the buckle is even logo'd- a really nice touch in this price segment. I've received several positive compliments while wearing it and 1 of my friends has purchased an Infantry field watch from this same series since. The company behind the watch is part of the value equation. I had a minor issue and I was able to get in touch with a real person... no, actually two! I contacted via Amazon AND through the support dept from their website. Both inquiries were promptly answered with a helpful and well-mannered reply and the perfect solution. There are several collections to be found on their website (SEARCH: Infantry Watches ). These watches range in appointment and quality from levels found here to several steps above. Similar in looks and nature to this one on Amazon include; The Chronomaster, The Skeleton, and The Auto-Pilot to name a few. I've begun to add additional watches to my collection from those. There are also fun and informal collaborations offered. Right now [8-2025] these include; Transformers, Monopoly, Peanuts and several others. ---> Overall it's rare and refreshing to find a company still able to work decent products AND ethics into a successful business model!
