From the vogue for nubile models to the explosion in the juvenile crime rate, this modern classic of social history and media traces the precipitous decline of childhood in America today-and the corresponding threat to the notion of adulthood. Deftly marshaling a vast array of historical and demographic research, Neil Postman, author of Technopoly, suggests that childhood is a relatively recent invention, which came into being as the new medium of print imposed divisions between children and adults. But now these divisions are eroding under the barrage of television, which turns the adult secrets of sex and violence into popular entertainment and pitches both news and advertising at the intellectual level of ten-year-olds. Informative, alarming, and aphorisitc, The Disappearance of Childhood is a triumph of history and prophecy.Binding Type: Paperback

Harder and heavier than a dog toy should be, but it is sturdy.
Color: Mixed Blue
The outer rim is a very hard plastic, hard enough to dent and ding furniture. Too hard to throw in the house. Dog likes it but has difficulty getting his mouth around the sides as the item is very heavy for its size. Squeaker in the middle was a a nice surprise.
Would not buy again.

Durable and well made.
Color: Mixed Blue
Our dog will chew any toy up in 2.5 seconds. This has lasted for quite some time. It's super hard which can be a downfall because they lose interest. Squeeker is hard to push down but overall it's outlasted other toys.
