Mosquitoes in Hawaii, sea lampreys in the Great Lakes, mountain goats in the Olympic Mountains of Washington State not one of these species is native to the environment in which it now flourishes. Kim Todd's "Tinkering with Eden" is a lyrical, brilliantly written history of the introduction of exotic species into the United Sates, and how the well-meaning endeavors of scientists, explorers, and biologists have resulted in ecological catastrophe. Todd's assured voice will haunt her readers, and the stories she tells such as the druggist who brought starlings to America because he wanted the landscape to feature every bird mentioned by Shakespeare will forever change how we see our increasingly afflicted landscape and its unanticipated inhabitants."Binding Type: Paperback

Not the least bit durable
Color: Blue
This is not durable! My pup had a hole in it in 5 minutes and a leg torn off in 3 days. He is not an aggressive chewer even....typically we have to replace toys because the squeaker has died, never because he tore it out!

Adorable but not Durable
Color: Blue
While this toy was super adorable and our 1 year old puppy loved it. The colors were bright and vivid, and it made fun wrinkling sounds he absolutely loved.
However we were lucky if it lasted 20 minutes. Within minutes the crinkle paper was coming out and it basically fell apart, and he's not a destructive pup.
