A milestone in the study of culture from the father of structural anthropology

This watershed work records Claude L vi-Strauss's search for "a human society reduced to its most basic expression." From the Amazon basin through the dense upland jungles of Brazil, L vi-Strauss found the societies he was seeking among the Caduveo, Bororo, Nambikwara, and Tupi-Kawahib. More than merely recounting his time in their midst, Tristes Tropiques places the cultural practices of these peoples in a global context and extrapolates a fascinating theory of culture that has given the book an importance far beyond the fields of anthropology and continental philosophy. The author's fresh approach, sense of humor, and openness to the sensuous mystique of the tropics make the scientific thrust of the book eminently accessible.

Nice Idea But Won't Last With A Frenchie
Color: orange & blue, Color: orange & blue
My dogs loved the balls, however, withing 30 minutes, they were in pieces. Be careful because these parts can become choking hazards. Maybe they should try to make them a bit more sturdy, then I would buy again. Wish I could give them more stars because I liked them and the dogs did too.

Not a chew toy
Color: red&green
Our dogs love these! The dogs play for about a half hour then they get tired ,they pick it up by the string and toss it around , only important thing, supervise play time !!! This will break if chewed on , this is not a chew toy , put away once your dogs are done with it .

Fits Cats not Dog size
Color: red&green
Sure these balls are cute, but most definitely not a dog size. I wouldn’t waste your money, unless you own a cat!

Not durable
Color: red&green
The description says for cats and dogs. My 6lb mini poodle tore it up in less than 40 minutes. The red one worked but the green one wouldnt even turn on. The indicator said it was fully charged but u plugged it in for a short time but nothing. I dont know if i can get a refund or not since the cover on the red one has been completely torn off. I dont recommend this product

This is an awesome toy for dogs and cats!
Color: red
This is such a cool toy for a dog or a cat. I bought it for my 28 pound Aussie doodle. She’s slightly laid up after an injury recently so I’m trying to come up with things she can play with in the house without excessive running. This totally keeps her engaged and she loves it. But I have to watch her because every once in a while she’ll just catch it and try and chew on the ball! But I’ve been sharing it with my neighbor who has a cat. She’s borrowing it today and her cat loves it too! It seems pretty durable overall but it certainly doesn’t want my dogs’s jaws trying to crack it into. You do hear a humming noise while it’s running but I think that’s to be expected. Mostly I just love how much it entertains both dogs and cats!!
