The Ghosts of Birds offers thirty-five essays by Eliot Weinberger: the first section of the book continues his linked serial-essay, An Elemental Thing, which pulls the reader into "a vortex for the entire universe" (Boston Review). Here, Weinberger chronicles a nineteenth-century journey down the Colorado River, records the dreams of people named Chang, and shares other factually verifiable discoveries that seem too fabulous to possibly be true. The second section collects Weinberger's essays on a wide range of subjects--some of which have been published in Harper's, New York Review of Books, and London Review of Books--including his notorious review of George W. Bush's memoir Decision Points and writings about Mongolian art and poetry, different versions of the Buddha, American Indophilia ("There is a line, however jagged, from pseudo-Hinduism to Malcolm X"), B la Bal zs, Herbert Read, and Charles Reznikoff. This collection proves once again that Weinberger is "one of the bravest and sharpest minds in the United States" (Javier Mar as).Binding Type: Paperback

FANTASTIC!!
Our dog Tigger has LOTS of energy. 😅 Even with my husband taking him to run alongside his bike around the block three times the other day, Tigger wasn’t even panting by the end. 🤣 I was talking to a new friend who mentioned more mental stimulation could help. Last Tuesday evening, he learned “give paw” within about 15 minutes. Hmm he’s a SMART pup. 🤔 Bonus…teaching him that seemed to really tire him out.
From that point, I looked up dog mental stimulation toys here on Amazon and bought three puzzle feeders—this one is one of them. They’ve been amazing!! Tigger has been slowly catching onto how to get the food, which stops him from eating so dang fast AND also exercises his canine brain.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I HIGHLY recommend something like this if you have dogs that have boundless energy or just seem like no amount of exercising helps calm them down.

Works well!
Fun for dogs! Only silly thing is it moves around on the floor a little bit, but overall works good! My lab loves it

Great for busy pups and smart dogs!
This keeps my puppy blue heeler busy and happy. Easy to fill and wash. I put her puppy food in it and put it in her crate to play with. The kibble fits perfectly in each little hiding place. After a month of fun it has not broken or malfunctioned.

Great treat
Gave this to my friend’s dog, and they took a video when they put it down! The dog immediately found one of the treats and kept looking for the other treat and eventually found it this dog loved it!

Easy, fun puzzle
My dog really enjoys this puzzle. It is a pretty easy puzzle for her. The only issue is that the tiles on one side does not slide easily like the other side. The first one I received was so hard to move, that I returned it for a replacement. The second one is better but still has the same issue. Other than that, it is made well. The size of the puzzle works well for my 5 lb dog.
