Spook: Science Tackles the AfterlifeWhat happens when we die? Does the light just go out and that's thatthe million year nap? Or will some part of my personality, my me ness persist? What will that feel like? What will I do all day? Is there a place to plug in my lap top?"

What happens when we die? Does the light just go out and that's thatthe million-year nap? Or will some part of my personality, my me-ness persist? What will that feel like? What will I do all day? Is there a place to plug in my lap-top?" In an attempt to find out, Mary Roach brings her tireless curiosity to bear on an array of contemporary and historical soul-searchers: scientists, schemers, engineers, mediums, all trying to prove (or disprove) that life goes on after we die. She begins the journey in rural India with a reincarnation researcher and ends up in a University of Virginia operating room where cardiologists have installed equipment near the ceiling to study out-of-body near-death experiences. Along the way, she enrolls in an English medium school, gets electromagnetically haunted at a university in Ontario, and visits a Duke University professor with a plan to weigh the consciousness of a leech. Her historical wanderings unearth soul-seeking philosophers who rummaged through cadavers and calves' heads, a North Carolina lawsuit that established legal precedence for ghosts, and the last surviving sample of "ectoplasm" in a Cambridge University archive.Binding Type: Hardcover

Not a Good Choice for Chewers
Color: Get Ripped Margrrrita, Size: L
I loved the idea of this toy, but it did not work or last as intended. It is pretty heavy and made of thick rubber. The flaps over the cup where the treats are dispensed did not last 5 minutes with my pup, so we can no longer use it to dispense treats/use as a brain game.

Super fun, my dog loves it!
Color: Hambone Super Chewer, Size: M/L
I adopted a Feist/Pit mix and this was the first toy I got him for just him. He went nuts for it! He’s a destructive pup so ripping the soft “skin” off of hambone really helped him release some pent up energy! Now he carries it around in the yard and just chews on it. If you have tiny treats, drop em in the nose holes and watch your pup go crazy trying to get them out!

Not for super chewers
Color: Hambone Super Chewer, Size: M/L
Had to take it away from my dog the same evening I gave it to him because a chunk came off. I did not want him to choke on the pieces.

A favorite for my boys!
Color: Hambone Super Chewer, Size: M/L
My dogs love this toy, it satisfied their need to rip up a toy and still allowed them to play long after the top layer was torn apart to enjoy! It bounces well and has still held up with my chewers, this is still one of my dogs favorite toys to play fetch with!

Great toy
Color: Hambone Super Chewer, Size: M/L
My dog loves this toy so much. He's not quite so aggressive with his chewing, now that he's getting older, but this toy lasted through his younger years, and recently started to show signs of wear. He was so sad when I threw it out, that I had to replace it. Glad it still exists - we got the first one probably 5 years ago.
