Description

De Geschiedenis Van De VocVier eeuwen geleden verkreeg de Verenigde Oost Indische Compagnie (VOC) het monopolic voor de vaart op Azi. De VOC groeide in de 17de en 18de eeuw uit tot het grootste scheepvaart en handelsbedrijf ter wereld. Met de handel in specerijen als peper en kaneel, en later ook producten als zijde, thee en porselein, bracht de VOC Nederland een periode van ongekende economische en culturele voorspoed. In dit rijk gellustreerde, gezaghebbende standaardwerk

Vier eeuwen geleden verkreeg de Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie (VOC) het monopolic voor de vaart op Azië. De VOC groeide in de 17de en 18de eeuw uit tot het grootste scheepvaart- en handelsbedrijf ter wereld. Met de handel in specerijen als peper en kaneel, en later ook producten als zijde, thee en porselein, bracht de VOC Nederland een periode van ongekende economische en culturele voorspoed.
In dit rijk geïllustreerde, gezaghebbende standaardwerk belicht Femme Gaastra alle facetten van deze unieke onderneming. Waarom werd er bijvoorbeeld zoveel politieke macht verleend aan een in opzet commercieel bedrijf? Welke bestuurs-vorm werd gekozen? Hoe werd de VOC gefinancierd, hoe bouwde men schepen en hoc organiseerde men de bijna 5.000 reizen naar de Oost? Waarom kozen tienduizenden Europeanen vrijwillig voor werk bij de VOC en dus voor reizen vol ontberingen en grote risico's? Hoe waren de arbeidsomstandigheden aan boord en wat hield de militaire ondersteuning in?
Gaastra laat aan de hand van vaak unieke illustraties en veel historisch materiaal zien hoe groot het werkterrein van de VOC was, in welke producten werd gehandeld en welke winsten er in die bijna twee eeuwen werden gemaakt. Maar hij belicht ook hoc er met vaak harde middelen oorlog werd gevoerd, hoe concurrenten werden verdreven of levering van specerijen werd afgedwongen.
De geschiedenis van de VOC toont op boeiende en zeer toegankelijke wijze de opkomst, bloei en neergang van een omvangrijk handelsinperium, bestuurd door Nederlandse kooplieden van internationale allure.

Nice but dissapointing
So it sometimes stays cool but if it’s under a blanket and you have your body on it at all it will get warm but the spots you don’t use will get cool sometimes. I am very disappointed in the material though because it’s like my dry skin scratched the pillow case all over which makes me question it and I don’t think I would buy again.

Great pillow, but the cooling effect depends on the cover
Color: Blue-ice Plus, Size: King(Pack of 2)
I really like this pillow overall. It’s comfortable, supportive, and feels well made. When you use it without a pillowcase, it definitely feels cool to the touch and does what it claims in terms of that initial cooling sensation. However, once you put a pillowcase on it, you can’t really feel the cooling effect anymore. I’ve tried multiple different pillowcases made from different materials, and none of them really let that cool feeling come through. That said, I still love the pillow itself. It’s comfortable and supportive enough that I’m keeping it. Just keep in mind that the cooling feature works best without a cover, which isn’t ideal for everyone. Overall, a good pillow — just manage expectations about the cooling effect once it’s covered.

Best Pillow Ever
Color: Blue-ice Plus, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
Best pillow ever. Although it still gets "hot", it does take longer to get "hot". I love this pillow. I was buying a new pillow almost every 3 months. Other pillows would either remain rock hard or go flat. I was concerned at first when reading the description as I though the memory foam would be big pieces. They are soft fluffy pieces. I had to remove almost half of the foam to get the pillow to what works for me. I have not had to put any filler back in. Maybe in a couple of more months I may have to put a bit more in, but it is holding it's shape and not going flat. I do fluff it every night. This helps. I am a stomach sleeper. I have bought the expensive purple pillow and hated it so much I gave it to my daughter. This QUTOOL Pillow is the best! I bought a 2 pack. Have not used the other pillow yet, but I feel I may actually go years for once without having to buy a pillow as I have the 2nd one set aside if the first one gets to a point in need replacement. I have bought Dollar Store pillows. I have bought $300 pillows. None of them even come close to this pillow and the way you can adjust this pillow for you. The pillows came in a white mesh like bag. I keep all the unused "stuffing" in this bag. I have it hanging in my closet and I just fluff the bag once a month to keep the filling fresh so it is ready if and when I need it. Coming from someone who has trouble staying asleep, neck issues, a stomach sleeper who hate those flat pillows manufacturers think stomach sleepers like but actually hate, buy this pillow. Just buy it. Best Pillow for a picky person like me. Buy 2 or more so if you have to stay at a hotel, you can take your own pillow.
