Islands : Searching for truth on the shorelineNo man is an island, wrote John Donne. BBC home editor Mark Easton argues the opposite: that we are all islands, and it is upon the contradictory shoreline where isolation meets connectedness, where 'us' meets 'them', that we find out who we truly are. Suggesting that a continental bias has blinded us, Easton chronicles a sweep of 250 million years of island history: from Pangaea (the supercontinent mother of all islands) to the first intrepid

No man is an island, wrote John Donne. BBC home editor Mark Easton argues the opposite: that we are all islands, and it is upon the contradictory shoreline where isolation meets connectedness, where 'us' meets 'them', that we find out who we truly are. Suggesting that a continental bias has blinded us, Easton chronicles a sweep of 250 million years of island history: from Pangaea (the supercontinent mother of all islands) to the first intrepid islanders pointing their canoes over the horizon, from exploration to occupation, exploitation to liberation, a hopeful journey to paradise and a chastening reminder of our planet's fragility. But that is only half of this mesmerising book: aided by the muse he names Pangaea, Easton also interweaves reflections on what he calls 'the psychological islands that form the great archipelago of humankind'. Taking readers on an enchanting adventure, he illustrates how understanding islands and island syndrome might help humanity get closer to the truth about itself. Brave, intelligent and haunting, Islands is a deep dive into geography, myth, literature, politics and philosophy that reveals nothing less than a map of the human heart.

Our Pittie mix absolutely loves these balls! She chews them and we play catch for hours and they haven't shown any signs of damage after several months of play. I highly recommend!

Enrichment toy is working
We have had these for a while. Got them for enrichment during the AZ summers when it is too hot to get outside. They are very durable. We do have to use cheese spray to fill them.

Not meant for small dogs.
I bought this toy ball hoping it would be a fun treat dispenser for my Shih Tzu, but it’s way too big for her to handle. The grooves are really deep, so treats just get stuck inside and she can’t get them out. The texture is also super slippery, so she has trouble keeping a grip on it, and the plastic is heavy and not flexible at all. Overall, not a great fit for small dogs.

It'll only last a week
Size: 5 Inch, Color: Classic Bone, Size: 5 Inch, Color: Classic Bone
We've only had it a few days and she's already half way through it. It won't last the week. She doesn't eat it, she spits out the pieces. If you buy it was a consumable, totally worth the money. I'll probably buy my power chewer a couple a month
