Description
A Concise History of the Baltic StatesThe Baltic region is frequently neglected in broader histories of Europe and its international significance can be obscured by separate treatments of the various Baltic states. With this wide ranging survey, Andrejs Plakans presents the first integrated history of three Baltic peoples Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians and draws out the common threads to show how it has been shaped by their location in a strategically desirable corner of Europe.
The Baltic region is frequently neglected in broader histories of Europe and its international significance can be obscured by separate treatments of the various Baltic states. With this wide-ranging survey, Andrejs Plakans presents the first integrated history of three Baltic peoples - Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians - and draws out the common threads to show how it has been shaped by their location in a strategically desirable corner of Europe. Subordinated in turn by Baltic German landholders, the Polish nobility and gentry, and then by Russian and Soviet administrators, the three nations have nevertheless kept a their distinctive identities - significantly retaining three separate languages in an ethnically diverse region. The book traces the countries' evolution from their ninth-century tribal beginnings to their present status as three thriving and separate nation states, focusing particularly on the region's complex twentieth-century history, which culminated in the eventual re-establishment of national sovereignty after 1991.Binding Type: Paperback

Good looking, sturdy & great value
Color: Gravel Black
This looks great on top of our Black Quartz sink (which is top mounted so fits well). Very sturdy and easy to clean. I recommend this.

The ceramic feel
Color: Gravel Black, Color: Gravel Black
This item has a sturdy feel to it. The texture and weight is giving a ceramic feel. This piece has an elegant matte finish, screams modern solids. The pump is a bit meh but works well. All together a very fine piece of decor. Recommend with high marks.

Simple, Durable, and Efficient
Color: Gravel Black
I needed a soap holder for my kitchen sink and I was looking for something modern and small. The Shinowa Soap Dispenser with Sponge seemed good.
It's small but holds a lot of soap. The black color is nice. The pump dispenses soap well. It has a compartment for a sponge, as well, though I never used it.
The bottom has rubber feet to stop it from sliding o — bigger or more grippy pads would make it more stable, though not everyone would have that much space on their sink.
The pump works well and doesn’t need a lot of pressure. The wide opening makes it easy to fill and clean.
One thing I didn't like personally — the holder doesn’t have a way to drain water. Sometimes I need to take out the water that collects in it. But it’s not a big problem.
Overall, the Shinowa Dish Soap Dispenser is good. It keeps my kitchen tidy and makes it easier to use. It’s a good product that I would recommend to others.
