The Anthropology of Turquoise: Reflections on Desert, Sea, Stone, and SkyIn this invigorating mix of natural history and adventure, artist naturalist Ellen Meloy uses turquoise the color and the gem to probe deeper into our profound human attachment to landscape. From the Sierra Nevada, the Mojave Desert, the Yucatan Peninsula, and the Bahamas to her home ground on the high plateaus and deep canyons of the Southwest, we journey with Meloy through vistas of both great beauty and great desecration.

In this invigorating mix of natural history and adventure, artist-naturalist Ellen Meloy uses turquoise--the color and the gem--to probe deeper into our profound human attachment to landscape. From the Sierra Nevada, the Mojave Desert, the Yucatan Peninsula, and the Bahamas to her home ground on the high plateaus and deep canyons of the Southwest, we journey with Meloy through vistas of both great beauty and great desecration. Her keen vision makes us look anew at ancestral mountains, turquoise seas, and even motel swimming pools. She introduces us to Navajo "velvet grandmothers" whose attire and aesthetics absorb the vivid palette of their homeland, as well as to Persians who consider turquoise the life-saving equivalent of a bullet-proof vest. Throughout, Meloy invites us to appreciate along with her the endless surprises in all of life and celebrates the seduction to be found in our visual surroundings.Binding Type: Paperback

Squeaky Ball Doesn’t Squeak for Long
Style: Hedgehog dog toys
My large dogs like these, though their teeth punctured the squeaky ball inside almost immediately. So, the ball inside is not durable. They still play with them though and I like how there’s no stuffing inside.

Very cute hedgehogs for pets
Style: Hedgehog dog toys
I bought these as a gift and they are adorable! Very well made and will hold up to a lot of chewing, tossing and rough housing.

BEST Dog Toy
Style: Hedgehog dog toys
These hedge hogs w/ball toys are AWESOME! They're the only toy I've found that my yr old miniature schnauzer, Murphy, can't destroy in an hour and he LOVES them. Plus have been the best toy out of a dozen or so other toys he maintains an interest in. Thank you ! !

Versatile, rugged, and silly
Style: Octopus dog toys
This is a silly toy that our puppies have enjoyed (and I get a laugh out of seeing them play tug of war with the tentacles). It has held up well to multiple washes, cleans easily, and has been resilient to sharp puppy teeth (small breed dogs), even with prolonged chewing. It's a versatile size and will keep working well as they grow. I love the natural tension on the tentacles and the crinkles (which always get their attention).

Great quality dog toys
Color: 5 Pack Corduroy
For the last 4yrs I had bought these dog toys for my fur baby atleast 3 times now. They last and durable. But after awhile the get old quick and start wearing out after constantly getting played, chewed and tugged on. Plus my fir baby deserves new ones.
