In 1985 an ambitious young Mexican-American from California's rural San Joaquin Valley became one of the few Latinos to enter America's most prestigious university. The lessons Ruben Navarette, Jr., learned as he journeyed from his middle-class surroundings to an exclusive 350-year-old world of privilege would forever alter his life. With intelligence and grace, Navarrette chronicles his experiences at Harvard, where he confronted questions of identity and ethnicity, and wrestled with the need to reconcile his values and opinions with the expectations of his family, his race, and society at large. More than a deeply personal memoir, A Darker Shade of Crimson also dares to pursue the complex questions of what needs to be done to provide a quality education for Latinos and other minorities in America. Whatever one's views on affirmative action, racism, and liberal education in this country today, his provocative story will offer a new perspective on these issues and a message of hope for tomorrow's generation. Praise for A Darker Shade of Crimson "Hard-hitting, funny, sad and inspiring."--Chicago Tribune"Powerful . . . for its twofold message: that America must do more to educate Latinos (our fastest-growing minority) and that freedom of thought belongs to everybody."--Kirkus Reviews

Fun toy for dogs that like to fetch
Color: Green-M
The toy is great, good quality, and durable. My dog will only play with it if I am am playing with her, otherwise she loses interest and that is why I am giving it a 4 out of 5. She is a 60 lb. dog and the size. It is a good price for the product and when my dog does play with it the multiple tabs on it make it user friendly for chewing and tossing.

Surprisingly Durable Soccer Ball
Color: Green-M
Ethan is a a chewer par excellence. When his soccer ball arrived several months ago, I expected it to be a raggedy mess within days. I was wrong. The only chewed strap is the longer black one. All others are as good as new. The ball itself is a good size for him, a slightly larger Sheltie. It is one of his favorite toys for running and fetching play. As far as value for money, we’ve had several months to enjoy it without thinking of retiring it to the damaged toys bin. I would recommend it for durability and exercise play.

Total Glow in the dark entertainment
Color: Glow in the dark - L
This toy is my Aussie Shepherd’s favorite. It is durable. I love that in addition to playing fetch, the tabs make it possible for my dog to swing it from his own mouth and throw it in the air. The glow-in-the-dark feature is amazing! I throw the ball in the pitch black yard and watch it run back at me as my dog comes towards me. It's fun to watch!

Straps don’t last
Color: Glow in the dark - L, Color: Glow in the dark - L
My boyfriend’s dog chewed off all the straps in the first day. Decent ball, but why have straps that dogs can chew off so fast.

Fine choice for smaller dogs
Color: Green-M
A good choice for smaller dogs. My mini poodle enjoys flipping this around and playing tug of war with her humans. She cannot be left with it for any unsupervised play, because she was able to begin shredding one of the straps in a matter of a few minutes. The included pump works great.
